Advanced Office Password Recovery is an advanced software solution designed to help you recover forgotten or lost passwords for your Office documents, be they Word, Excel, Access Outlook, Project, Money, PowerPoint, Visio, Publisher, OneNote, Backup, Schedule+ or Mail files.
Although it also comes with a detailed help menu, the interface is the one that helps the application target all types of users, such as beginners and more experienced ones. Features are nicely organized in tabs, with nifty buttons placed on a toolbar to start or stop a password recovery process on the go.
Advanced Office Password Recovery offers three different password recovery modes, as follows: brute-force attack (trying all possible combinations), brute-force with mask (if some password symbols are known) and dictionary attack.
If you choose the brute-force method, then you should have a look into its dedicated tab that prompts you to pick password length, character set, starting password and mask.
There are multiple options available in Advanced Office Password Recovery, including dedicated tools to select different dictionaries, but also a separate menu for the password cache.
The password recovery process can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours, it all depends on the password length and the included characters. The application needs a moderate amount of resources, even when trying to find a password, so you can easily continue you work while keeping it minimized in System Tray.
Overall, it's pretty clear that Advanced Office Password Recovery deserves a chance; it can lend you a hand when trying to recover passwords for important documents.
