Advanced IE (Internet Explorer) Password Recovery (AIEPR)

Advanced IE (Internet Explorer) Password Recovery (or simply AIEPR) is a program to Recover passwords to web sites saved in Microsoft Internet Explorer (in local password list), as well as AutoComplete strings (form fields). It can also reset Content Advisor Passwords. IE versions from 3 to 6 are supported.

Requirements :
•Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003
•about 1 megabyte of free space on hard disk
•Microsoft Internet Explorer (3/4/5/6)

URL: just the address of the site. Please note that it is NOT the full URL, but just the “root” of the site; the actual URL is not saved in the system at all, and so it cannot be retrieved.

Page Title: actually, it is a Realm that is being set by the server. For FTP sites, it is always empty; for web sites it is typically the title of password-protected page, or sometimes the name of HTML file.

Login: just what it says; the name

Password: the password (for the user shown in Login).

When any of the passwords is selected (highlighted), you can use the buttons at the bottom of that window:

Open location: shows pop-up menu with the type of the connection (FTP, HTTP or HTTPS). Select an appropriate one, and Internet Explorer will go to that page, applying login and password automatically. Please note that sometimes it doesn’t work (due to the server problems), so if you fail, type the URL and supply login and password (when prompted) manually.

Copy to Clipboard: copies selected password to the Clipboard; press Ctrl-V to paste it where needed.

Save to text file...: saves the list of all passwords (together with URL and logins) to specified file.

Microsoft Internet Explorer includes Content Advisor that helps to control the Internet content that can be viewed on your computer. To enable it, select Tools | Internet Options, go to Content tab, and press Enable; you will be prompted for supervisor password. Now you can press the Settings button to select ratings, approve or disapprove specific sites, and change the password itself.

If you forgot the supervisor password to Content Advisor, it cannot be recovered (because it is not saved at all, just hashed), but AIEPR allows to remove or change it. Press Advisor button on toolbar.

The Current Content Advisor Password field should be shown as . Now you can change the password to your own one, or just delete it. If you want to be able to restore the old password, enable the Save old password option (and use Restore Saved Password later, when/if needed). Once you have the new password, you can go to Content Advisor and disable it completely, or just change its settings.

Please note that the password should be changed and deleted when Internet Explorer is not running; also, in some cases you will have to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
