A program to recover lost or forgotten passwords to files/documents created in Microsoft Office applications (all versions up to Office 2002/XP): Word, Excel, Access (including user-level passwords and owner info), Project, Money, PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio, Backup, Schedule+, Mail. Can also reset MS Internet Explorer (3/4/5) Content Advisor password, and open password-protected VBA projects (created in any application) via the backdoor. Most passwords are being recovered instantly; the password to open in Word/Excel 97/2000/XP can be recovered using brute-force and dictionary attacks, highly optimized for speed (the performance is about 5 million passwords per minute on PII).
