Using RouterPassView for Password Recovery

RouterPassView is a Windows utility program designed to help you uncover the administrator password of a router if it's forgotten. This sounds like a great tool for hackers, but anyone who downloads this free software for unethical reasons will surely be disappointed. Even regular users might find RouterPassView to be only marginally useful. The program works by scanning a router's configuration files created during a backup procedure. To use RouterPassView, a person must have a router that supports configuration backup (not all routers do), the router administrator must have actually made a backup file (many admins do not) and have access to it, and the program must support scanning that particular file format. Finally, there's no guarantee the password listed in the backup file matches the password currently active on the router, as that depends on timing of the backups taken. On the other hand, if you have a computer running Windows and your network fits the above profile, RouterPassView could save you a lot of grief someday.
