You should select search mode and capitalization rules. In DEMO version the only choice is a brute-force attack. In commercial version dictionary search is also available. Dictionary search provides a way to significantly reduce search time. If you used a long password (8 character and longer) dictionary search is the only way to recover password. Even with large dictionaries you'll spend minutes for search while to recover password of 8 lowercase letters using brute-force attack on Pentium200 you need for 4 months...
Another way is 'smart force attack'. This technology is under development now. All registered users will receive it for FREE. More information about brute force attack provided on my site.
