Just now I have tried with Firefox latest version 3.5.7 and FireMaster 3.5 and it is working great…!

I guess you have set the wrong password, may be you have set it like passw0rd (number 0 instead of letter o) and you are trying to get it right for “password” (note the letter o instead of number 0).

use the -c option to override the default character set (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz*@#!$123) which does not include number 0 .

Good luck

um, it didn’t work for me. I set my master password as “password” and tried brute force w/ either character set or pattern matching switches & neither worked on firefox version 3.5.6 on Windows 7 64 bit:

C:\FireMaster_bin>firemaster -b -p “passwo?d” -l 8 “C:\Users\Andy\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\asdfasdf.default”
