I'd have trouble believing any software can do better than elcom. You might try running it on a gaming computer if you have access to one. Also, if you know who created the password then you could try one of the dictionary generators. They ask a bunch of questions about what car you drive, school you went to, and shit like that. Many can be answered if you know the creator's social media and have access to it. Then they'll output a dictionary list with permutations like leetspeak. The elcom software should be able to input this custom dictionary.
We tried the usual things, name of the business, his name, last name, mother's name, kids, dogs, cars, addresses, birthdays, etc.
The guy that locked it is a real piece of work and he had a fetish with password managers. The info in the file is the guy's baby, and he was so scared that someone else would take it from him, we suspect he locked it with a long randomized password.
We own the IP through acquisition. We think that he would lie to us and say he didn't remember, and/or would try and hold it for ransom under the EOL consulting fees he has the ability to charge during transition.
Geez, your job sounds important. I figured everyone on here smoked meth behind Chicken Lickin’ like me. Kudos to you, good sir. And what the fuck is a Kudo and can I use it as a slur? Go about your business please.
Wasn't Kudos a candy bar at one time?
Just looked, they were chocolate and candy covered granola bars.
