Three powerful attack methods are provided for you to choose.

Option 1. Dictionary Attack:

You can choose this attack method if your password is one of the most commonly used passwords. A dictionary with a wide range of possible letters and numbers combination will help you find out the password.

You are highly recommended to download the latest dictionary when prompted, this will largely increase the unlocking success rate.

Option 2. Brute - Force with Mask Attack:

This is a better way if you remember some part of your passwords, like length, characters, prefix/suffix or other information. The more information you provide, the faster password will be found.

Option 3. Brute - Force Attack:
