When deciding which password recovery software to use, first consider what your actual needs are, as budget software may only provide basic options, so if you need to use advanced tools you may find a more expensive platform is much more worthwhile. Additionally, higher-end software can usually cater for every need, so do ensure you have a good idea of which features you think you may require from your password recovery software.

Password hygiene is essential to keeping your devices and accounts secure, but remembering so many different combinations of letters, numbers and special characters is all but impossible - especially when using the best password generators to create a unique password for each account.

To put the best password recovery services through their paces, we tested recovery across a range of different devices and operating systems, and explored the extra features and tools offered by each solution.

Passware is a leading password recovery software developer that has a success rate of about 70%, which is quite good, considering the task at hand. The Basic, Standard, and Standard Plus kits are all intended for home use, although there are Business and even Forensics solutions available, depending on how difficult the job is.

The Kit Standard Plus version can also unlock password managers like LastPass, 1Password, Dashlane, and Keepass, as well as recent Windows local accounts, server accounts, and Microsoft Live ID accounts.

While somewhat costly and like all solutions, not guaranteed to work in every case, this is a good place to start for a robust password recovery application with a good track record. The latest update also brought the password recovery for bcrypt hash.

Recover My Password by Lazesoft is another freeware option for recovering a Windows admin password. You can remove the Windows password entirely, reset it to blank, and unlock, enable, or disable user accounts.

The software is free and open-source, which is a big advantage both in terms of cost and transparency. While you may not have the user support of a paid solution, Ophcrack has a good track record and can be used to reliably recover many Windows accounts.

Trininity Rescue Kit (TRK) is a live Linux distribution that can be used to recover Windows passwords, which can then easily be reset using a simple (text) menu interface. The software also includes five different virus scans and a tool for disk cleanup, with recovery and undeletion of certain files and lost partitions.

We probed Denis Gladysh, co-owner and head of Passcovery, a supplier of high-speed GPU-accelerated software solutions for recovering passwords of popular file format, to find out what the most popular ways to recover lost passwords are.

Mask is a part of the password that you know some specific details about. It remains unchanged throughout the entire attack, while only the unknown part is being changed. Not the most common case, of course. For example, if you know that the password begins with the name Jack, ends with the year of his birth - 56, and there are some characters in the middle, then by using the mask - Jack?????56 - you could check all 11-character passwords beginning with Jack and ending with 56.

When you do not know the exact characters of the password, but you do know its structure, then using the extended mask attack you can define an individual charset for each position in the password. Trial passwords will only consist of the characters from the defined charsets. Only a few password crackers offer this feature. Passcovery (review/website) is one of them. For example, you know that the password begins with a capital letter, ends with numbers, and there are only lowercase letters in the middle. So it only makes sense to try passwords that meet these specific criteria. The extended mask option allows to check such passwords.

Oftentimes a password is not a set of random characters, but a meaningful word: a name, date, nickname, favorite movie/cartoon/book character, dish, country name, etc. Such topical lists of words and their combinations are called dictionaries. And a password attack based on such wordlists is referred to as a dictionary attack. By running a dictionary attack you can quickly check all popular passwords. For example, over the last few years the password 1234567890 has been top-rated as the most popular one. OMG! 10 characters! Gotta be strong enough, you think? Yeah, right :)

What if we combine several words into a single password and alter characters in it? We'll get a password that is too long for a regular brute-force attack and that can never be found in any dictionary. And yet it is possible to recover it by combining multiple dictionaries and setting character mutation/substitution rules. Passcovery programs can handle such tasks. See for example the case of Apple iOS 13.x backup file. Then we compiled a list of likely words that could possibly make up the password, added mutations rules, ran the attack and successful ly recovered the lost password.

Which attack to choose from the four listed and its efficiency depends on each specific case. Say, you know the words that make up the password, then dictionary attack with rules is what you need. If you know the structure or a part of the password, then you'd better go for extended or regular mask attack. When you don't know any details about the password, it is recommended to run a dictionary attack using wordlists of popular passwords. And still, there is no guaranteed way to recover, let alone crack a properly made and secure password (and that is great, isn't it! otherwise what's the point in protection, if anyone who has a computer could crack it?). There is no 100% guarantee, but success is still possible.

NB: All of the above refers to the latest types of secure password protection with encryption and does not apply to protection against accidental editing. The latter can always be removed instantly (as, for example, in Microsoft Office 2-2019)

To test for the best password recovery software we first set up an account with the relevant software platform, then we tested the service to see how the software performed when accessed by different devices, as well as testing any additional tools that were provided. The aim was to push each password recovery software platform to see how useful its basic tools were and also how easy it was to get to grips with any more advanced tools.
