Notes Password Recovery
The Notes Password Recovery utility allows you to recover a forgotten password from a Lotus Notes ID file. You have a choice of using either:
- Dictionary Search Method - which attempts words contained in a dictionary file (also called a word list)
- Brute Force Search Method - which attempts every combination of letters and characters that you choose.
- Guess Password Method - which allows you to enter what you think the password could be.
There are two versions available, one suitable only for Lotus Notes 5 and 6, and the other suitable only for Lotus Notes 7 until 8.5. The R7 version is much faster, attempting around 85,000 password combinations per minute on an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0Ghz CPU using the Brute Force search.
