Dekart Private Disk MultiFactor allows you to recover the password of an encrypted disk, if you have partially forgotten it, by using a Brute-force attack method.
To start the password recovery attempt, please, do the following:
| 1. | Go to the Control Panel, click Recovery > Password.... |
| 2. | The Secret disk file image window will appear. |
| 3. | Select the directory where the file-image of the encrypted disk is located, click on this file and click Open. |
| 4. | You will be prompted to enter the password properties - alphabet (password symbols) and password length. |
| 5. | Specify the alphabet (types of symbols), which you recall to have been used in your password, the password length and click OK. If you used any special characters that are not shown, enter them in the Extension field (e.g. Cyrillic symbols or umlauts) . |
| 6. | You will be asked to confirm the password properties entered at the previous step. Click OK. |
| 7. | The password recovery process window will appear. |
You can stop the password recovery process by pressing the Cancel button. The software will allow you to save the current state of this process in order to continue the recovery from this saved state. If you agree, you will be able to start from the saved state next time you run the password recovery process again.
Note. The risk that a third party person will break your password and access your private data is minimized, provided that you follow our Recommendations for ensuring Dekart Private Disk security. Please read the How to recover a lost password guide for more details.
