Over-riding Password Protection
Hi
I was handed a password protected excel file without the password. So I searched around WWW and found several password detection software. In particular I paid a modest amount for the Accent Excel Password Recovery software. I have chosen the settings: all alphabet, all 10 digits and special chars. The software has run for over 50 hours now still without success. I know that it is trying by "brute force" by generating and testing passwords. I see a link in the main window that says faster password recovery. Hence I am wondering in what way the password recovery can happen faster other than throwing more CPU's. a)Is there a way a windows domain administrator can open the file? b)Has anyone written code to recover passwords that is available in the public domain? c)Will contacting MS help? Thanks for your help. |
