Advanced EFS Data Recovery  (AEFSDR) is a program to recover (decrypt) files encrypted on NTFS (EFS) partitions created in Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Files are being decrypted even in a case when the system is not bootable and so you cannot log on, and/or some encryption keys have been tampered.

Proactive System Password Recovery (PSPR; former Advanced Windows Password Recovery) is a program to recover most types of Windows passwords:

• Windows 95/98/ME logon password (when user is logged on);
• Windows NT4/2000 logon password (when user is logged on and has Admin privileges);
• Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/2003 auto logon password;

Proactive Password Auditor™ (PPA™; former Proactive Windows Securiy Explorer) is a password security test tool that's designed to allow Windows® NT, Windows® 2000, Windows® XP and Windows Server 2003-based systems administrators to identify and close security holes in their networks.

Password hacking is one of the most critical and commonly exploited network security threats. Too often, users like to use simple and easy-to-remember passwords such as repeating characters, simple words, and names. In addition, some network administrators forget to purge terminated employees from the system, force people to change passwords often, or lock out users after a number of failed attempts.
