ThunderbirdPassDecryptor is a tool that recovers the stored mail account password by Mozilla Thunderbird. You can also use it to recover the Thunderbird account passwords from another system (i.e. a backup or profile folder).

Note:

  • If a "master" password is set, other passwords are not accessible without it. The publisher offers a command-line FireMaster to try and brute-force the protection. Strong passwords (15+ characters) are not worthwhile to brute-force.
  • The main website download link has switch to an encrypted installer. Linking to softpedia.

@Sam - I know this is a little late, but use Lupo's Universal Extractor (http://www.lupopensuite.com/db/universalextractor.htm). I just used it and it works.

WebBrowserPassView is a password recovery tool that reveals the passwords stored by Internet Explorer, Firefox-based and Chromium-based Web browsers. This tool can be used to recover your lost/forgotten password of any website, including popular Web sites, like Facebook, Yahoo, Google, and GMail, as long as the password is stored by your Web Browser.

Currently, WebBrowserPassView cannot retrieve the passwords if they are encrypted with a master password.

To work with Chrome and Opera portable versions, go to 'options' and set the location of the portable browser folder. Select the user data folder in Chrome, and wand.dat for Opera. (Thanks to user "deer".)

For example,

Firefox Installation=D:\Firefox\App\Firefox

The license leaves room for interpretation.
The author clarifies in the FAQ:
** Quote **
Q: The license of your software says that I only allowed to use it for personal and non-commercial use. What does it mean ? Can I use it in my work environment ?
A: When I say that my software is for "non-commercial use", I mean that you are not allowed to make profit from my software. You are allowed to freely use my software in your work environment for serving the internal needs of the company or for your own personal use. You can also offer my software to your customers, as long as you don't charge your customers for using my software, and as long as your customers know that my software is freeware and available to download from NirSoft Web site. Government agencies are also allowed to use my software without restrictions.

However, you are not allowed to:
* Include my software as a part of commercial software package.
* Charge your customer for a service provided by using my software. For example: You are not allowed to recover the password of your customer by using my password-recovery tools, and then charge your customer for password-recovery service.
** End quote **

Condensed:
It is freeware for private use AND use in a business environment, but it's not allowed to make profit out of it.

I noticed some suspicious behaviour of my system after i downloaded and run this programm. a popup-window apeared showing a countdown of 1 min and told me that my system will reboot.
After the reboot of Windows, the Data Execution Prevention deactivated a programm. i hope this is not a virus.

ingkiller1 on 2008-06-19 01:24

Eron, If you did get a virus it was not related to RockXP because I have scanned it with ClamWinPortable and AVG and come up with nothing. Not to mention I used this program a long time ago and never had any problems. Also, it does not call home so don't worry.

CAUTION: Close all other programs when running this one. Has caused system crashes for me.
