you could download a demo -

That will give you the first two characters of the password and you should be able to work out the rest.
I've used the access key cracker before and it worked very well (I had to unlock a database at work when someone at work left and passworded all our development databases !)

To be honest, after I'd posted I wondered as to whether or not the strict rules on this forum would forbid the question. I've since checked the rules though and it appears to be ok.

Out of interest what password had they set it as?? Anything juicy? or repeatable!

It was questioning the boss's legitamacy as a human being.

which was quickly changed (or it was everywhere we found it).
