Advanced Office Password Recovery by ElcomSoft
Win32, shareware, 30 day free trial, $49 Home / $99 Standard / $199 Professional Edition (purchase)

This all-in-one package is described on a separate page of this website.

One of the many features of this program is recovery of passwords to Microsoft Word files: password to open, password to modify, document protection password. Most passwords are recovered instantly; "password to open" for Word 97 and above requires time-consuming brute-force or dictionary attack. All versions of Word for Windows (from 2.0 through 2007) are supported.

Advanced Office Password Breaker by ElcomSoft
Win32, shareware, 30 day free trial, $99 Standard / $199 Professional / $399 Enterprise Edition (purchase)

A program to decrypt Word and Excel 97/2000 files that have file open protection set, as well as Word and Excel XP files with default (Office 97/2000 compatible) encryption - guaranteed regardless of password length and complexity. This is being done by trying all possible encryption keys (rather than only some possible passwords from which the keys are derived) and takes under a week on a high-end workstation.

Please note that this program does not work with files created in Word/Excel 95 or older, Word/Excel XP with new CSP protection, and for any passwords other than the password for opening. For such files, use the Advanced Office Password Recovery product instead.

Standard Edition uses only one CPU at a time. Professional Edition can also work on dual-CPU (or dual-core) and quad-CPU (or quad-core) systems, using all processors/cores (so recovery speed will be almost twice or four times better).

Enterprise Edition uses as many CPUs as are installed (up to 64). Additionally, it includes a DVD with pre-computed hash tables ("rainbow tables"), which enables it to unlock 99.5% of Word documents in less than a minute (typical time).

Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery by ElcomSoft
Win32, shareware, free trial, $599 to $4,999 depending on license type (purchase)

This product is designed for distributed recovery of forgotten or lost passwords of different documents. It allows to:

• restore passwords of different documents by means of distributed processing
• work in local and global networks
• administer the password recovery server remotely
• install and uninstall agents on remote computers
• manipulate agents' work time and priority
• launch the agents and the server as system services
• account for machine time
• keep track of one's own actions and look through the log if necessary

All versions of Word and Excel from 97 up to 2007 (*.doc, *.docx, *.xls, *.xlsx), PowerPoint XP/2003/2007 (*.ppt, *.pptx), and OneNote are supported, as well as two types of encryption: 97/2000 compatible and the new one (CSP based). Only the document opening password is found; for Office 97/2000 compatible encryption, this program can also recover the key (guaranteed regardless of password length and complexity) and decrypt the file.

The program is also able to recover passwords to Microsoft Money, Adobe Acrobat PDF files, Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista logon passwords (LM and NTLM hashes), PGP zip archives (*.pgp), PGP secret keys (keyrings, *.skr), PGP disks (*.pgd), PGP self-decrypting archives (*.exe), PGP whole disk encryption, Personal Information Exchange certificates (PKCS #12, *.pfx, *.p12), Intuit Quicken (*.qdf), Lotus Notes ID files, and MD5 hashes. Support of other file formats is planned for future versions of the program.
