Software New
New from Stellar is a password recovery tool, this one is for Microsoft Access from the earliest version 97 up to Access 2007, I’ve yet to see any news if this works with 2010. It works with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7 and also covers Windows 2000 and 2003 server operating systems, interesting to see that new software being released are still catering for Windows 2000/Server 2000 which suggests there are still a fair number of these machines in active use.
Operating of the software is simplicity in itself, just browse to the database within the program and click ‘Find Password’ you can specify the parameters such as password length and characters if you have some idea of what the password might be. Once that is done you can then save the password to a text file for later retrieval or simply write on a sticky note and place it on your monitor (slapped wrist).
Cost is a reasonable €39 Euros or $49 for a single user or €63 and $79 for commercial use.

If you use Adobe Reader or Acrobat and let’s face it that includes most of us then the latest round of patches is definitely something that you need to implement. A grand total of 23 vulnerabilities were sealed and most of those were designed to stop the availability of certain code being executed to hijack the computer, therefore these patches are rather critical.
So important are they that Adobe released the patches a week ahead of schedule, please visit the site for the latest information and news on how to obtain the latest Adobe Acrobat or Reader versions.
