Additional Information:

How it works?
DWG files encryption applied in AutoCAD® can be based on several selectable crypto-providers and key lengths (from 40bit to 128bit). CAD Password works with any of these setting. In order to recover AutoCAD® DWG file passwords, candidates have to be created based on dictionary, mask or sequentially based on a charset and length selected. CAD Password by Thegrideon Software allows you to try all these options with a number of additional modifications including unique keyboard layouts-aware recovery technique.
The default key length used in *.dwg files encryption is 40-bit long. So for every original password there is a multitude of equivalent passwords (for example, password "security" is equal to "8VAJ3CID" and to "0103788088713", all without quotes). Thus equivalent password can be found within limited timeframe regardless of the original password length. For default 40-bit encryption with no additional knowledge of the password used you can start the search with 9 chars length with "A...Z" + "0...9" charset or 13 chars length with "0...9" charset (13 x "0...9" is usually faster).

¹The time shown is the average time necessary to find equivalent password for encryption with 40-bit key (please check "How it works?" block above).
²GPU performance is somewhat variable with number of factors including GPU/CPU combination and even driver version. Please contact us if your recovery speed is noticeable different from the data above.

Guaranteed Password Recovery Service for 40-bit Encryption 
Thegrideon Software has prepared the set of password lookup tables (Rainbow tables) for a default 40-bit encryption with coverage close to 100%. These tables allow us to offer you guaranteed password recovery service for your DWG files within minutes for a small per file service fee.
There are two ways you can use our service:
1) You can upload your file to us for password recovery.
2) You can employ our service without sending any sensitive information to us: Just open your protected file(s) in trial version of CAD Password and send us "File Service Signature" line for the file you need to have the password recovered (or just open all the files you need to have passwords recovered and send us the full log presented by CAD Password).
