I wanted to open one of the old Microsoft Word files but it was pass-protected and I forgot the main password. Since it was an important file, I wanted to see how I can recover the lost passwords with a software program, I found Office Password Recovery Professional.
After I installed the software, I opened the program and opened the Microsoft Office file to recover the last password. There are two options to open the file, either through online recovery or locally as shown below. After you click the Next button it will ask whether you can remember the word partially or not, even if you can't remember that it tries to recover the password.
It was able to find out the password within minutes but for some long and tough passwords it may take longer. Nevertheless, I was able to recover and open the file. There were no bloatware, it just did the job like the CCleaner and other freeware.
A demo of how this works is shown in video:
If you know similar programs that does a good job of recovering passwords, please leave a comment.
