Editor's review of Acrobat Password Recovery Key

• 4.0 stars

• "Acrobat Password Recovery Key"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Acrobat Password Recovery Key 6.1

Yet another PDF password cracker with a draconian trial limitation, Acrobat Password Recovery Key appears to get the job done--though you'll need to pay the registration fee to be sure. Acrobat Password Recovery Key recovers lost or forgotten passwords using brute-force attacks or ones with Xieve optimization, which allows faster results by skipping password checks of nonsense combinations of characters. If you used a meaningful word as your password (for shame!), the dictionary-attack feature will probably turn it up in a jiff. If not, the program can pause and resume cracking so you don't have to keep your computer on while running a brute-force attack. All in all, Acrobat Password Recovery Key seems capable enough, though no more so than countless other programs.

  Version: Acrobat Password Recovery Key 6.1

  "Didn't work for me"

  by Mr Dandee on August 24, 2007

  Cons: It showed the message that the .pdf file I was trying to unlock had no password, but that's wrong since I can see the locks while reading it in Acrobat Reader. Useless to me.
