Dad passed away over a year ago and left his computer's password protected. He has all of our family photos and other memories stored on the computers and we currently don't have any access to them. Can this program break the password to Windows and would it be something I could easily do myself (basics of computer literacy)?
Thank you in advance.

No, Password Breaker is not compatible for password breaking because it uses a brute force way of getting the password. This could take years to complete. Secondly, there is another application called OPHCrack which can be installed on a USB drive to boot it and then attempt a recovery of the password in question from Linux using SAM files found in Windows where the passwords are stored.

Indeed, their website is not working normally because the website is using the SQL database to display content. Unfortunately, there is no way to download the software at the moment. I have tried other ways to download the software, but there aren't. All the download links lead to the official website that's not working. You might need to try at a later time to download the software.
Does this software attempt to reset the password? I don't want any password reset alerts showing up in the inbox. I am seeking access to a specific email address to obtain some information regarding relationships and want this effort to be anonymous. Also, can it break a password for an email that has never been accessed on my computer?

This application is used as a recovery for the applications installed on your computer. It's using some standard methods to guess the password of the apps in case you have lost it. It doesn't have support for online services and besides that, it's not even possible. You can use it just for recovery purposes.
If I download and I want to cancel during the trial period, I will not incur any costs?

Here is the link that you want to access to obtain the necessary ISO or installation file: http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/
Note: A USB flash drive with at least 4 GB of free space is required for this operation.
