If the user can log in to Windows, Proactive System Password Recovery recovers many types of passwords instantly and without lengthy attacks, as well as displays hidden system information such as Product ID and CD Key.

Certain types of passwords that cannot be recovered instantly are attacked with advanced, highly customizable combinations of dictionary and brute-force attacks.

Many computer users protect different accounts with exactly the same passwords, or with slight variations of a single password. Proactive System Password Recovery automatically adds each password it discovers into a dictionary, quickly unlocking accounts protected with any of the previously recovered passwords and their variations. As many types of passwords are discovered instantly, the chances of unlocking other types of accounts in just minutes are very high.
