Recover (Crack) a password from a Microsoft Access Database (mdb)

Today, I had to do a password recovery from an old Microsoft Access Database. 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 page or directly from this location.

    Great guide.

    Microsoft Access 2005 or Microsoft Access 2007 recovery, it that supported too?

    If it is, it is just too easy to crack, hack or break Microsoft Access products security.

    Microsoft Access is used to create simple database solutions.Access tables support a variety of standard field types, indices, and referential integrity. Access also includes a query interface, forms to display and enter data, and reports for printing.MS Access A higher level of protection in MS Access file is the use of workgroup security requiring a user name and password. Users and groups can be specified along with their rights at the object type or individual object level. A separate workgroup security file contains the settings which can be used to manage multiple databases.
    It is highly complex to recover MS Access password manually , to recover the MS Access password try a password recovery tool, i can refer you a link which can surely recover your lost MS Access password.
