Recover or Crack or Hack Into Password From Microsoft Access database (mdb) file

A few days ago, i ws jst exploring ma pc files n rite there, i went through a mdb file , n the most irritating thing ws that, it ws passwrd protected..

So i simpply thought to break into it.
While going thru the starting phase, First I thought that this was a very time consuming task, but as I searched on Google I found a great number of utilities to do that kind of password recovery / crack, but none of the shiny tools I found in the first round were free, so I searched on and found a free utility called Access PassView – and it’s able to do the job. I tried to password protect a sample access database and it worked – it recovered the password within less than a second :)



The author of Access PassView mentions that it has a few limitations; In Access 2000/XP files, it cannot recover passwords that contains more than 18 characters and it’s only able to recover the main database password. It cannot recover the user-level passwords.

You can download Access PassView from this location.
