Office Password Recovery Toolbox 3.5.0.4

What do you do should you need to access a password-protected Word, Excel, Outlook, Access, PowerPoint or VBA document, but you don’t remember the password, or simply don’t have the password to access said document. You can do what I always do – you can turn to software and see if there is an application out there that can lend a helping hand.

There is a Rixler Software-developed application that can prove to be useful in such a situation. The application I am talking about is the aptly named Office Password Recovery Toolbox. If you forgot the password to a Word, PowerPoint or Excel document, Access database or Outlook folder, you can use Office Password Recovery Toolbox to:

Recover passwords – you will be presented with the password that protects a document.
Remove passwords – the password protecting the document will be removed.

To better put things in perspective, here are the main features you can expect to get from Office Password Recovery Toolbox:
- Recover or remove open, write and protection passwords for Word documents
- Recover or remove open, write, workbook, shared workbook and worksheet passwords for Excel documents
- Remove write password for PowerPoint documents
- Recover passwords for Outlook personal folder files and for Access database files and workgroup information files
- Recover passwords for VBA projects in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook files

Before you go get Office Password Recovery Toolbox and put it to the test, take a look at the following technical details:
Download – the download weighs in at 982KB, so it should complete in no time at all (even if you are on a less than spectacular internet connection).

- Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, 2003, XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
