    Password extractor for mdw files

    The following is a utility for viewing logins and passwords within an mdw file (yes - it can be done.)

    Included 97 and 2000 versions - but should work with any version.

    Please note: The PasswordExtractor2000and97.zip attachment seems to only work on non-2007/2010 MDW files.

    Storm,

    Nirsoft has had this for quite a while: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/accesspv.html

    But I personally think the one written in Access is much more impressive. Different language that's used as the tool of course, so it looks like the 2 versions of this were written with different skill sets.

    Do you know what language these random exe tools are written in? Delphi, perhaps?

    I'm not really sure where I got this. I know it seems to work but I can't expand on how it does it. I've only used it a couple of times but it sure does come in handy when I needed it.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
