Excel Password Recovery Master
Excel Password Recovery Master is a Windows utility for removing passwords from encrypted Excel files. Several attack methods like brute force, dictionary and smartforce are available.
Main purpose
With the help of this software you can restore access to locked Excel spreadsheets in case the password is lost or forgotten. It is possible to recover keyphrases for workbooks and worksheets as well as for read only files.
Included methods
Like in RAR Password Recovery Magic, users are able to try all possible character combinations until the password is found. This operation is called brute force attack and may take up a very long time depending on the strength of the keyphrase.
Another way to crack the file is providing a customized dictionary with password variants to automatically try them all. Finally, there is an option to combine both methods to achieve the best results.
Batch processing
You can attempt to remove protection from multiple Excel documents simultaneously. This feature is intended for saving time and effort while working with a large amount of encrypted spreadsheets.
