Atomic Excel Password Recovery

Atomic Excel Password Recovery is a lightweight Windows application specialized in recovering or removing Microsoft Excel file passwords.

The program offers support MS Excel documents created with Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002 (Office XP), and Excel 2003. It is important to mention from the start that the utility does not work with corrupt files.

Atomic Excel Password Recovery helps you set up the recovery process with the aid of a wizard-like approach. Several built-in steps need to be followed in order to complete the task.

The application offers you the option to import the XLS file that you want to decrypt using the built-in browse button (the drag-and-drop support is not implemented).

Atomic Excel Password Recovery comes packed with three recovery methods, each one suitable for a different scenario, namely extensive search, password template and dictionary attack.

The extensive search can be used for removing the password automatically so you can unlock the XLS file without having to input the password. This mode is very easy to use because you do not have to set up any configuration parameters but it is slow so be prepared to arm yourself with extra patience.

The password template mode is useful in case you remember some characters of the password and know the password’s length. Based on the user-defined information, the program reveals various possible password combinations so you can detect the correct one.

The last mode, dictionary attack, helps you find passwords based on a list with words. All the words included in a dictionary are checked by the tool in order to find out the lost password.

During the recovery mode, the utility shows details about the elapsed and left time. What’s more, you can copy the recovered password to the clipboard or open the processed XLS document.

Atomic Excel Password Recovery delivers a straightforward solution for helping you recover lost passwords, and is suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
