  1. My iTunes backup recovery professional has been running for over 85 1/2 days with no results yet. I purchased the professional upgrade which runs no faster than the standard version. It actually seems to have slowed down.

  2. Tried this and it said my password had been recovered, but did not show me any characters – said I’d need to buy the full programme? The review said you can see the first three characters using the free trial but this was not my experience.

    1. Hi Richard,

      I can understand your situation. Might possible that there have some changes made by developer recently. When we reviewed it, we get 3 digits of the password.

      Seems, since then, it has been changed somewhat.
