Acrobat Password Recovery Key 6.1

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

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.
