Versions History

• Version 1.56:
  • Fixed the external drive feature to work properly if you sign in with Microsoft account.
  • Be aware that in order to decrypt Windows passwords created while you signed in with Microsoft account, you have to provide the random DPAPI password generated
    for your Microsoft account instead of the actual login password. You can find this DPAPI password with the MadPassExt tool.

• Version 1.55:
  Added new option ‘Load the passwords of the all logged-in users’.
  This new option allows you to recover the passwords of non-administrator users without typing their password, as long as the user is already logged into your system.
  • Added ‘Filename’ column, which displays the credentials file where the password is stored.
• Version 1.50:
  • Added support for decrypting passwords from external drive / another user profile for all versions of Windows from Windows XP and up to Windows 10 ! (In ‘Advanced Options’ window — F9 )
  • Added advanced external drive settings which allows you to choose the desired Windows Protect folder and the Windows Credential folder (In ‘Advanced Options’ window — F9).
• Version 1.40:
  • Added ‘Export Raw Passwords Data’ option, which allows you to export all raw data from Windows credential files. You can view the exported file with any Hex viewer/editor, and you may find in this file some information that is not displayed in the main window of Network Password Recovery tool.
• Version 1.34:
  • Removed the command-line options that export the passwords to a file from the official version. A version of this tool with full command-line support will be posted on separated Web page.
• Version 1.33:
  • To avoid from deletion by mistake, the delete menu item is now separated from the others. Also, the default answer for the delete question is No.
• Version 1.32:
  • Added ‘Mark Odd/Even Rows’ option, under the View menu. When it’s turned on, the odd and even rows are displayed in different color, to make it easier to read a single line.
• Version 1.31:
  • Added ‘Copy Password’ option (Ctrl+P).
• Version 1.30:
  • Added ‘Password Strength’ column, which calculates the strength of the password and displays it as
    Very Weak, Weak, Medium, Strong, or Very Strong.

    as the first line when you export to csv or tab-delimited file.
• Version 1.24:
  • Fixed bug: pressing the delete key in the find window deleted an item in the main window.
• Version 1.23:
  • Fixed a problem with Application Compatibility Engine on Windows 7/Vista:
    In some rare circumstances, this utility was shimmed by Application Compatibility Engine, which means that
    apphelp.dll and AcLayers.DLL were loaded into the process and replaced the Windows API pointers in the exports table.
    This API replacement caused this utility to crash lsass.exe and restart the operating system after a minute.
    
    This problem occured when running this utility from NirLauncher package,
    because the executable of NirLauncher contains the word ‘launch’, and from unknown reason,
    Microsoft automatically shim every executable that contains the word ‘launch’.

• Version 1.22:
  • Fixed bug: In some systems, Network Password Recovery crashed on start with Exception C0000005.

• Version 1.00: First release.

Where the network passwords are stored ?

Older versions of Windows (Windows 95,98 and ME) stored the network passwords in pwl files
located under the main Windows folder.
Starting from Windows XP, the network passwords are encrypted inside the
Credentials file, located under Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials\<User SID>.
Some passwords may also be stored in the Credentials file under Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials\<User SID>.

In addition to the passwords of network shares,
Windows XP also stores the passwords of .NET Passport (MSN Messenger) in the same
Credentials files

Credentials file in external drive

Starting from version 1.20, you can also read the Credentials from an external profile in your current operating system or from another external drive (For example:
from a dead system that cannot boot anymore).
In order to use this feature, you must know the last logged-on password used for this profile, because the
Credentials file is encrypted with the SHA hash of the log-on password, and without that hash, the Credentials file cannot be decrypted.

You can use this feature from the UI, by selecting the ‘Advanced Options’ in the File menu, or from command-line,
by using /external parameter. The user profile path should be something like «C:\Documents and Settings\admin»
in Windows XP/2003 or «C:\users\myuser» in Windows 10/8/7/Vista/2008.

Notice: If the passwords were encrypted under Microsoft account sign-in, you have to extract the encryption password
with the MadPassExt tool and then
paste this password into the Windows Login Password field.
