Notes Password Recovery

This utility allows you to recover a forgotten password from a Lotus Notes ID file.
It uses a brute force method which attempts every combination of letters and characters that you choose.
This program is suitable for normal user ID files as well as certifiers.
It attempts around 1000 password combinations per minute on an average PC, so may need to run this program for several days, weeks or even months in order to crack the password.

Notes Password Recovery v1.2.3.0 (Size 270 KB) Freeware

Compatibility:

R6, R7

Installation:

Copy the file DominoErrorCodes.exe into your Lotus Notes program directory.
This directory must contain the NNOTES.DLL file.

If you do not copy this program into your Lotus Notes program directory you will get the following error:

NotesPasswordRecovery.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed to start because NNOTES.DLL was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

How To Use It:

If you exactly know the first part of a password, you can enter this in to make the search faster.
By selecting the length to start and finish, you can also reduce the time taken for the search.

You are also given the option to select specific character combinations like:
* Lower case (default)
* Upper case
* Numbers
* Special characters

The lengths and characters used should depend upon the password complexity used in the past. My recommendation is to search for lowercase characters and numbers ranging from 6 to at least 9 characters in length. Again, you may need to run this program for several days (more likely weeks) in order to crack the password, so choose wisely and be patient.

WARNING:

The use of this software is strictly for those people who have genuinely forgotten the password for a vital ID file. It is not to be used for any form of illegal activity. The author is not liable for misuse.
