CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
If you've forgotten a simple password for a Word or Excel file, this free utility is a good way to recover it. Compared to full-fledged password crackers, Free Word Excel Password Wizard offers a very limited set of attacks. However, the free demos of fuller-featured programs typically let you recover passwords of only one or two characters--in other words, they're useless for any practical purpose. The developers of this program acknowledge it's only useful for short, simple passwords (for instance, English words) of up to eight characters, but it does a decent job cracking those. You can choose character sets and dictionary files, and in our tests the program discovered the password lover in a few seconds. Give it a shot before moving on to more powerful remedies.Publisher's description
From Mastermen :This free software helps to recover file open passwords for Word and Excel files from version 97 onwards. It supports dictionary and brute force attacks and has an easy to use interface, which guides you through the recovery process.
