= Introduction

Advanced ACT Password Recovery (ACTPR) is a program to recover or replace lost or forgotten passwords to protected BLB, MUD and ADF files created in ACT! contact management software (from Symantec and Best Software). All versions of ACT! (up to ACT! 2006) are supported. The passwords are recovered (or removed) instantly. The program is also able to change the security roles of any users in ACT! 2005/2006 databases: e.g. from "Restricted" to "Administrator".

= Requirements

- Windows Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 , Windows XP or Windows Server 2003
- ACT! 2005/2006 installed (to change/remove password(s) to ACT! 2005/2006 files)
- about 400 kilobytes of free space on hard disk

= Registration

For files created in older versions of ACT!, an unregistered (trial) version of ACTPR recovers the passwords that are not longer than 4 characters. For ACT! 2005/2006 files, ACTPR only shows the list of users that have access to the given files (along with their security roles), but does not allow to change/remove passwords. To get full functionality, please consider purchasing the full version.

After you register (look at "order.txt" for details), we'll send you your personal registration code. To enter it into the program, just press the "Register" button on the toolbar; the program will display the small window dialog asking you to enter the code. If the code is correct, ACTPR shows the message that it is registered now, and so since than it will be able to recover passwords of any length.
