Microsoft Database is used for database management by lots of users. It provides an option to encrypt the file to make the database safe. Thus, unauthorized people become unable to access the database and make any modifications on it. Surely keeping the security of sensitive data should be on top of your priority list. But in some cases protecting the MDB or ACCDB file with a password may cause troubles to you. The password you use is too complex and you can’t remember it after a long time. You can not find the notebook where you wrote down the password. Your coworker is no longer in the company and leaves an encrypted Access file to you without telling you the password. Trying the password combinations by yourself is to no avail. It could be a disaster when your client is anxious to open the file but you don’t know the password. Don’t be worried if you are facing this issue. I will show you some Access unlocker software tools to resolve the problem in the upcoming segment of this article.

MS Access Password Recovery is a piece of free desktop software that is specialized in recovering the ACCDB file password. It is compatible with .accdb files created with all MS Access versions.
There are 3 attack modes you can apply to recover the lost database password. Each one of them is developed for a specific situation.
“Dictionary Attack”: This mode uses an in-built dictionary to detect the password. The password will be found if it is from the dictionary. The program gives the facility to build your own dictionary.
“Mask Attack”: Make good use of “Mask Attack” if you can recall any details about the lost password. You can provide some clues about the password by specifying the length, letters (upper/lower case), numbers, and symbols. The program will scan the specified character combinations as per your instructions.
“Brute Attack”: Use “Brute Attack” if you have no idea about the password. This mode takes longer than the other two modes in the Access password recovery since it tries all possible character combinations. But be rest assured the multi-tech and multi-threading tech will considerably shorten the time.
MS Access Password Recovery does not hang crash or pop up errors during the entire decryption process. It is able to crack a six characters password within a few seconds to several minutes under the “Mask Attack” mode. Thanks to its simple layout and intuitive options, it can be mastered by both beginners and experts. Personally speaking, I rate this application 4.5/5. It would be much better if MS Access Password Recovery is able to support the MDB format.
