Introduction

Windows 9x and NT systems allow a convenient storage of frequently used passwords, such as the password of your dial-in ISP or FTP connection.  However, since you no longer enter the saved password manually, you tend to forget them. What are you to do when you need to know one of the saved passwords ? The password is staring right at you, but is hiding behind a row of "*****" asterisks. This nifty utility allows you to reclaim your password: Activate the utility, drag the 123 mouse cursor on the password field and your password is revealed instantly right in the password field(s). Since 123 Password Recovery removes the asterisks directly in the password field it can also be a great help to make sure you type a (complicated) password correctly. Recovered WEB password are displayed directly in the software.

Limitations: This utility works well with most password screens you will encounter on a MS Windows system, such as the password fields on the  ISP dial-up dialog, within CuteFTP or Outlook Express. However, it does not work with applications that do not actually store the password "behind" the asterisks e. g. the Windows NT User Manager. The standard password recovery works on Win 95, 98, ME and Windows NT, but not Windows 2000. The WEB password recovery is designed for use with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 (or better) and works on all Windows platforms, including Win 2000.

Step-by-Step Guide


123 Password Recovery is easy to use:

A. Preparation:

  1. Open the application window that contains the password you want to read (this must be a password that is hidden behind the "*******" asterisks).

  2. If you want to recover WEB passwords, make sure that you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 (or better) to display the web page with the hidden password(s).

  3. Start the "123 Password Recovery" tool.

B. Password Recovery:

  1. Click with your LEFT mouse button on the "KEY" ICON. Your mouse cursor is changed to a "KEY" cursor.

  2. Now, KEEP THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON PRESSED DOWN and drag the mouse cursor to
    the window that contains the password field ("*****") you want to read.

  3. Once the cursor is on the window that contains the "*****" password field(s), 123 makes the password(s) readable right in the password field(s) by "removing" the "*****"  asterisks !. Web passwords are displayed in a small pop-up window.

--- About iOpus Software ---

iOpus' field of expertise includes internet-based applications and Windows security. Our software is developed based on the needs and requirements of users like yourself as we always keep a ear open as we scout for new and fresh ideas to incorporate in our product development.

Our main priority and goal is customer satisfaction. We achieve this by listening to our clients and incorporating their requirements into our programs. In fact, more than 50% of the enhancements in our applications come from our clients' feedback.

The other important aspect is also the decision to release our commercial software applications as shareware thus giving you all the ability to evaluate the applications within a trial period to determine if it meets your needs. We never asked for money first, but rather to provide you with a No-Hidden-Tricks policy. IOPUS Software is a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).

The other thing we do for our clients is to provide a fair price, as low as we could possibly go without  breaking our backs and thus we did have to cut back on certain things, such as printed manuals, physical delivery and phone support. But despite those, we do not cut down on technical support as we provide comprehensive help files and email support (we usually reply within a day). We dispense the physical delivery and focus on ESD (Electronic Software Distribution) so as to reduce the cost of the product, especially for our overseas clients  and also the fact that we come out with regular updates which might just make the hard copy outdated by  the time it reaches you.

If you have suggestions or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at support@iopus.com !
