Free Word Excel password recovery Wizard

CNET Editors' review

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.

    "Waste of time"

    June 2, 2012  |   By d18m58

    Version: Free Word Excel password recovery Wizard 2.0.9

    Pros

    I TgHINK the program works

    Cons

    It's hard to review a program when you only have a small portion of it to review. This evaluation edition only decodes the first 500 characters, so I don't know whether it works with photo's, embedded objects or any other special features

    Summary

    Can't comment because this evaluation edition is too limited. Give it a miss and try something else.

    "Waste of Time"

    May 31, 2012  |   By TheGoodDoctord2

    Version: Free Word Excel password recovery Wizard 2.0.9

    Pros

    Appears to work as advertise; however, you have to pay to actually be able to see the recovered password.

    Cons

    Just another ploy to tease you and get your money.

    Summary

    Don't waste your time, because that is what I did.
