Description
-----------

This program (Advanced Lotus Password Recovery, or simply
ALPR) can be used to recover lost or forgotten passwords for
files/documents created in the following Lotus applications
(all versions):

   Lotus Organizer (*.OR?)
   Lotus 1-2-3 (*.WK1, *.WK3, *.WK4, *.123)
   Lotus WordPro (*.LWP)
   Lotus SmartMaster (templates: *.12M, *.MWP)
   Lotus Approach (*.APR, *.APT)

The Approach module can also decrypt the passwords set to
external dBase/FoxPro (*.DBF) and Paradox (*.DB) files
the Lotus Approach is working with (directly, i.e. without
ODBC drivers).


Requirements
------------

- Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT 2000
- about 600 kilobytes of hard disk space


Usage
-----

The program is a GUI application; you can run it bu just
selecting the "Advanced Lotus Password Recovery" menu item from
the appropriate program group created during installation.
Alternatively, you can double-click on "alpr.exe" in the folder
you've installed ALPR to.

The main program window is quite simple, and contains just a few
buttons and status Window. 

To open password-protected file for password recovery, simply
press the "Open document..." button (the left one). If the file
you've selected is protected, the password will be decrypted and
displayed immediately:

Trying to open 'test.lwp' ...
Found the password: 'Test'

Please note that unregistered version shows the password which
contain 3 charactrs or less. To recover longer passwords, please
consider purchasing the full version.

If the file is corrupted or doesn't have the password at all, an
appropriate message will be displayed.

Registration
------------

This program is distributed as shareware (look at "license.txt"
for details). Being unregistered, it shows only first three
chars of the database password. 

After you register (look at "order.txt" for details), we'll
send you your personal registration code. To enter it into the
program, just press the "Register" button on the main screen;
the program will display the small window dialog asking you to
enter the code. If the code is correct, ALPR shows the message
that it is registered now, and so since than will show all
characters of the password. 

Please note that your registration will be valid for all future
versions of ALPR -- it means, that they will be free for you.
