Which attack type to select and how to configure parameters?

Click on the drop-down list below Type of attack, you will see four types of attack: Brute-force, Mask, Dictionary, and Smart attack.

Brute-force attack: If you don't select any one, then this attack type will be selected by default. You can select the password character range and click on Length to set the minimal and maximal password length. And then program will try all possible combinations of the password range to recover password.

Mask attack: If still remember some part of the password, select Brute-force with Mask attack type. It will be faster then selecting the Brute-force attack only.

First, select the Brute-force attack to set the password Range and password Length.

Next, select Mask attack, and set the related parameters. For example: If your password is "coco123", but you only remember the first part is "coco", you can replace the unknown part character with "?" symbol. So set the Start from box to "coco", and set the Mask box to "coco???".

Dictionary attack: If you can list all possible passwords you used on a notepad to self-create a password dictionary, then this attack type will be the fastest one.

Smart attack: If select this attack type, the program will try all possible printable character combinations.
