Document Password and Find Password Protected Documents Software for Windows

Accent OFFICE Password Recovery
$50 - AccentSoft Team

Ever thought: "If I were a hacker...?" No, I don't mean you'd rob banks via the Internet. Being a hacker, though, you'd never have to re-write an annual report just because of a lost password for an Office document. You'd never have to wait if your colleague forgot to send you the info needed to open an Excel spreadsheet. Sometimes you'd wish you had some hacking skills just so as not to lose the results of your own work.

You think that these hacker guys are all geniuses? That's a myth. Stop watching those fairy tale hacker movies! The usual hacker is just a next-door teenager that learned how to apply some password-cracking algorithms.

And the truth is that you can do exactly the same thing. The theory is quite simple. Any password can be cracked. It's just a matter of time. A "brute force" attack on a password means that the software will try all possible combinations of characters. It's the longest way. But it works best for short passwords. For long passwords, you can speed up the process by choosing only specific symbol ranges or by using other clever algorithms that try words and word-like combinations first. That's all you need to know in order to start.

We recommend that you start with Accent OFFICE Password Recovery. This utility supports a wide range of Office document formats (from the XX century MS Office version 6 to Office XP/2003) and includes a handy Wizard that helps you to choose proper password recovery algorithms. The Wizard will ask you several questions about the password that you need to recover and choose a proper strategy.

While the program is very easy-to-use, it also has many advanced features. Accent OFFICE Password Recovery allows you to manage vocabularies and provides several word transmutation algorithms (case alteration, letter swapping and others). In addition, it can work with non-English alphabets if needed.

Password Squirrel
$20 - Fineware Systems

Password Squirrel was written for one reason only. I needed it!

Everywhere I turned, I had to enter another password. I was also getting into the very bad habit of using the same password all over the place.

This program allows me fast access to all of my passwords in an encrypted, password protected database.

Password Squirrel makes it easy for you to have unique and extremely cryptic passwords for access to online services as well as making it easy to maintain document level passwords.
When the program is launched, you have the option is entering a single password which grants you access to all of the rest of your passwords.

Network administrators may also find it useful for managing the passwords of all users on the network.

The program itself is password protected but the user defines the level of protection. You can either require a password on launch or you can limit passwords to program functions which allow changes to your previously stored passwords.
Easy to Use: Simply launch the program, select the password you want from a list of named passwords, and press a button. The password is copied to the Windows Clipboard where you can paste it into most password entry screens.

Includes an Import/Export capability: It allows you to backup your current encrypted password master file to a diskette so that you can take it with you. Use the Import feature to replace an existing password master file or merge two master files together.
