Introduction

Advanced Office Password Breaker (AOPB) unlocks password-protected Microsoft Word documents and Excel spreadsheets within a guaranteed timeframe instead of attacking and recovering complex passwords. The tool supports documents and spreadsheets created by legacy versions of Microsoft Office tools or saved in compatibility mode by modern versions of the tools.

In legacy versions of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, weak 40-bit encryption was used to protect documents. This type of encryption can be easily broken with modern computers and appropriate tools. Attacking 40-bit encryption keys is not just significantly faster than enumerating the possible combinations of letters and numbers, but guarantees the recovery time frame regardless of how long and complex the password was. The Enterprise Edition can decrypting legacy Word documents and most legacy Excel files in a matter of minutes.
