Coder DGGC92 has come out with another interesting piece of homebrew that should help you bypass the password protection scheme inherent in the Sony PlayStation Portable.

It's called the Alobe Parental Password Cracker, and it essentially reads the password from the flash for you to use to unlock the restricted functions of your PSP. According to DGGC92, the application also saves the password onto a text file in the root of the memory stick.

That means that you can retrieve it for future use. Furthermore, it seems to be simple enough to install: just stick it into the Game150 folder, and you can apparently use it. The author didn't note which FWs it works on though.

This is a handy app to use if you accidentally locked yourself out of your own PSP. Of course, we have no idea why you'd forget a four digit combination, but that is probably a story for another day. In any case, have fun using the app!

From the description, that's not a cracker at all. It's a sniffer. If you wanted to crack the password, you would use a brute force or dictionary attack (or use some sort of algorithm, like when you crack WEP).

I bought my modded slim from my friend and she didn't even remember putting a pass on, so for the longest time, until now I couldn't play my GTA:VCS. Once again thank you.

If you want so much to remove a password, you simply go to "restore default settings" and voila! no more password for games/browser

it would still be good to know incase your parents would check on it so when they input their password it still works. but to reset it lol this is useless

It would be if the parental password was encrypted on the flash chips, but this article doesn't give any details about that.
