Accent OFFICE Password Recovery was designed to help you retrieve or remove lost passwords to documents created in Microsoft Office, as well as OpenOffice suites.
This application is quite small, but delivers exactly what it promises. Its password recovery rate is quite high. While testing it on different documents, the program successfully managed to find all the passwords. Though, it should be mentioned that its trial version will show you only the first two characters of your password.
In order to successfully recover document passwords, the application uses various types of attacks such as: brute-force, brute-force with mask, dictionary-based, and also key search. Though, I want to mention that it might take a while to recover your password when using “key search” attack.
As a conclusion, I think it’s worth purchasing this handy tool. Although its price may seem a little too high, the program will surely do its job well.
