Excel Password

If you have ever found yourself staring at one of your important Excel documents because you forgot the password, then you surely need the help of a specialized program capable of fixing this far from ideal situation.

One such dedicated program is Excel Password, a simple utility that makes it very simple for you to recover your forgotten passkey from any Excel file.

The first thing you need to know about this tool is the fact that it can help you recover passkeys from XLSX, XLSB and XLSM files created with all latest versions of Excel. Consequently, you can retrieve passkeys from Excel Write Protection-enabled files, Workbooks and Sheets.

Excel Password's main window is compact and intuitive at the same time, with a simple log panel that displays all the actions performed by the app and a toolbar that offers you access to the main functions.

Working with the utility is just as intuitive as its user interface, since you only need to load the Excel file, setup the attack methods for the password recovery and, basically, wait.

You are provided with the possibility to add any number of attacks and choose from three main types, namely Dictionary, Brute-Force and Mixed.

The first one is specialized on recovering passwords that are based on wordlists, while the second is suitable for retrieving passwords based on all possible combinations of characters.

As expected, the final attack type, accordingly named Mixed, is recommended for very strong passwords that are based on both Dictionary and Brute-Force.

This said, the password recovery speed is directly proportional to your computer's CPU and GPU performance.

As a final conclusion, Excel Password is an efficient application that can make your day a little bit better if you do so happen to find yourself in the unpleasant situation of having forgotten the password for your Excel file.
