Lotus Approach Password is a fast and approachable piece of kit which can retrieve lost or forgotten passwords to Lotus Approach files, as the name implies.

It comes packed with just a few intuitive settings that can be quickly figured out by users, whether they have previous experience with this type of programs or not.

The setup procedure takes minimal time and effort to finish. As for the interface, Lotus Approach Password is wrapped in a regular window with a plain and simple interface, where you can open a Lotus Approach file (APR, APT, DBF, DB or VEW format) using the file browser only, since the drag-and-drop method is not supported.

The application immediately finds its password and allows users to examine various log details, such as time and date of the recovery operation and operating system. The key can be copied to the Clipboard for closer examination and safekeeping. There are no other notable options available here.

We have not come across any issues in our tests, since Lotus Approach Password did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. It has a good response time and runs on low CPU and RAM, so it does not affect the overall performance of the machine. All in all, Lotus Approach Password gets the job done and can be used by anyone with great ease.
