This password is supported in Microsoft® Money 2002 and newer. The Money Database is encrypted using the RC4 encryption algorithm. Only the password hash is stored in the database to verify the password. Therefore this password cannot be recovered instantly.

 

AOPR can use brute-force and dictionary Attacks. In Microsoft Money 2002-2005, all password characters are capitalized (for example, "Aaaa" and "AAAA" are treated the same password). Therefore the password range cannot contain small Latin characters, and the "a - z" character set is disabled. In Money 2006, when using MS Passport authentication, a password can contain any characters.

 

Money 2003 and later can use Microsoft® Passport authentication to open the database. In this case, the MS Passport logon password is used as a database password. Money 2003 allows storing MS Passport Passwords locally. These Passwords can be recovered in AOPR.
