Access PassView is a password recovery program for Microsoft Access. Supports most versions of MS Access such as Access 95/97/200 / XP or with Jet Database Engine 3.0 / 4.0.

Utilities are quite useful when you forget the password of an Access database file is quite important. However, the Access PassView has several limitations:

- In Access 2000 / XP, only password recovery is not longer than 18 characters.

- Only support recovery of master password of mdb file, not password recovery of each user in the file.

To use Access PassView, you can do two things:
- Use the Drag & drop: drag the mdb file into the Access PassView window.

- Use the command: for example: accesspv.exe c: accesstp143mdb.mdb (Because Access PassView only works with a single accesspv.exe file, no installation required).
