III. Select attack type and make attack settings

Click the pull-down list under Type of attack, and you can see four types provided: Brute-force, Mask, and Dictionary and Smart. You select one of the attack types.

Select attack type following the tips:
Brute-Force Attack will try all possible password combinations to find back lost password.
Mask Attack can largely reduce password recovery time if you still remember the lost/forgotten password partially.
Dictionary Attack can quickly find your password back if you use regular words or phrases for password which come in the range of built-in dictionary.
Smart Attack can automatically and smartly try all possible characters combinations including all printable characters like numbers, letters and marks.

Make attack settings corresponding to the attack types you chose roughly like the following instructions:

Brute-force attack: Range setting and Length setting narrow down the password range to make it more specific to recover.
Mask attack: Range setting and define a mask. To define a mask means to tell the program what you are still remembering of your passwords. If you are sure that your password makes up of 6 characters and starts with letter A, then you can define it as: A*****.
Dictionary attack: Click Dictionary tab next to Length and select the target dictionary, which can be the AsunsoftDictionary or a dictionary created by you yourself.
Smart attack: Smart attack recovers automatically and smartly and thus needs no attack setting.
