Archive password recovery with tis script password

Thread needs solution

I have been using TI 2010 for some time to do backups. I need to recover a backup but the password I thought was protecting the archive seems to be incorrect.

I have the actual backup script which seems to contain an obfuscated/encrypted version of the archive password. Is there a way to reverse this into the plain text archive password?

It looks similar to this:
001F4pQzCR2s2czQPRKnS2hN4ggE5u6oY4TJ43&DIu7J^23q48739@UIPQ*NM@F6I52P#F4vFE4A5D53754qH7VFYQ3NnHYH5$oD4U6y^5NPJgwSJ90^$DuK6m*S!B25H

In the tis XML file itself, it was part of the tag. I had selected AES256 as the encryption algorithm.

Thanks for any information.

Most likely, the password is digested through a cryptographic hash function like MD5 of SHA-family, which are publicly available digestion algorithms.

These are one way encryption methods, since there is no need to decrypt any password (to verify a password, you only need to encrypt the proposed password and match the encrypted form against the stored encrypted form).

So there is no way you will be able to recover your password from its encrypted form (again, if the developers have been using a very common password encryption technique).

You might create a couple new tasks with what you thought the password to be and the compare the 2 tasks with the original task inside Notepad and see if any matches. It's a wild shot.
