If your password is 'dog', this program will take no time at all to crack
Passwords are a pain in the butt. If you have an easy password, it will be easier to remember (obviously), and chances are that one of your accounts online will get hacked into sometime in the future. If you have a hard password, your accounts will be more secure, but you run the risk of forgetting your password should you not log into your accounts for some time.
I think with today’s world (everything being online and all), it’s a lot better for you to have a long and complicated password. Sure, it’s riskier that way, but your data will be safe. What happens if you forget your password for whatever reason (simply forget, you lost the piece of paper that contains the password)? If you lost a password to an online account, you could probably try to recover it yourself by answering some security questions. But what if the password is to something offline, like an Excel worksheet?
Excel doesn’t ask you to set up any security questions or provide any password recovery methods of any kind when you encrypt a file. If you lose the password, your worksheet will be gone forever. So is there a way to recover your password?
The answer is YES! Excel Password Recovery is a program that will try to recover your password. The recovery process is pretty easy and painless. You simply feed it the encrypted file, give it some information about your password (length, certain characters), and it’ll do the rest either by trying brute force or a dictionary attack.
This program will work best if your password is simple, but it could crack more complicated passwords as well.
