Instantly unlock Lotus SmartSuite documents
Advanced Office Password Recovery can instantly unlock password-protected documents created with all versions of IBM/Lotus SmartSuite. The tool detects and recovers passwords for Lotus Organizer, Lotus WordPro, Lotus 1-2-3, Lotus Approach and Freelance Graphics documents, supports FTP and proxy passwords set in Lotus SmartSuite components.
Gain access to password-protected documents
Advanced Office Password Recovery recovers documents created with various versions of Microsoft Office (from 2.0 to the latest builds of Office 365), WordPerfect Office, Lotus SmartSuite, OpenDocument and Hangul Office. You can recover passwords for Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, Project, Money, PowerPoint, Visio, Publisher and OneNote.
Special attention will be given to Microsoft Word.docand Microsoft Excel.xlsdocuments. These files can often be recovered within a guaranteed time frame. TheprofessionalEdition comes with the patented Thunder Tables, which allow to decrypt legacy .doc and .xls files by using the encryption key instead of the original password.
Faster attacks with GPU acceleration
Microsoft is constantly strengthening protection in each major Office release. OpenDocument and Hangul Office formats are equally strong. The computationally intensive encryption used in the latest versions of Microsoft Office makes password recovery tools that rely solely on the computer's CPU no longer fit for the job.
Advanced Office Password Recovery supports the processing power of multiple graphics cards and parallel processing in multiple CPU and GPU cores. It is also possible to assign any CPU/GPU cores to password recovery so that password recovery runs in the background while you continue working normally. [ElcomSoft GPU Acceleration][gpu] supports an unlimited number of AMD and NVIDIA cards, including the latest generation of high-performance accelerators.
Note for Hangul Office users: GPU acceleration is available for Hangul Office spreadsheets (Hancell), but is not available for word processing (Hanword).
Instant access to password-protected documents
Not all passwords are created equal. Advanced Office Password Recovery provides instant access to many formats, including Microsoft Word and Excel versions 97 and 2000. Later versions of Microsoft Word and Excel save documents and spreadsheets in Compatibility Mode by default. This allows documents and spreadsheets to be opened immediately.
After a thorough analysis of the algorithms and implementation of password mechanisms of various versions of Microsoft Office applications, ElcomSoft has developed solutions that allow bypassing certain types of passwords - without lengthy attacks. Advanced Office Password Recovery combines the knowledge of various protection methods and applies all the tricks that allow opening protected documents in seconds.
Decryption of older Office documents
A large number of Microsoft Office documents are still stored in the legacy data format for compatibility and interoperability reasons. The older format (which can be recognized by the .doc/.xls extension, unlike the modern .docx/.xlsx format) uses a weak 40-bit encryption, which precedes the much stronger AES. Advanced Office Password Recovery has a special trick for such documents that allows breaking the encryption by attacking the encryption key instead of the password.
In addition to the Microsoft Office family, Advanced Office Password Recovery can instantly unlock many WordPerfect Office documents and all files created by Lotus SmartSuite.
Focus on the human factor
With the latest versions of popular office suites like Microsoft Office 2019 having the strongest security levels, brute force attacks become very slow and ineffective even in GPU accelerated environments. Advanced Office Password Recovery takes a social engineering approach and now implements intelligent attacks that target human psychology.
Elcomsoft Advanced Office Password Recovery uses every bit of information you know about a password. Simply setting the company's security policy can reduce the time of the attack by ten times. The number and type of characters used in the password and whether it contained special symbols helps tremendously in reducing the time to recover the password.
Access to protected documents within a guaranteed time frame
The tool can password-protected Word.doc-Documents and Excel.xls-tables that have been stored as "compatible" within a limited time frame. No lengthy attacks need to be carried out, while a 40-bit encryption key can be found quickly and efficiently and, most importantly, with a guaranteed positive result.
Advanced Office Password Recovery unlocks documents created with Microsoft Office Word and Excel 97 and 2000, as well as documents saved with Microsoft Office XP and 2003 in Office 97/2000 Compatibility Mode.
In addition to the Microsoft Office family, Advanced Office Password Recovery can instantly unlock many WordPerfect Office documents and all files created by Lotus SmartSuite.
Dictionary attack
Most human-created passwords consist of a single word or combination of words from a particular language. Before performing the brute force attack, Advanced Office Password Recovery attempts a comprehensive attack using words from a dictionary. Use the small, built-in dictionary or specify your own dictionaries, no matter what language, and Advanced Office Password Recovery will begin its attempt with single words and word combinations in numerous variations.
Advanced attacks
Elcomsoft Advanced Office Password Recovery is the industry leader when it comes to highly sophisticated attack types. Dictionary attacks are accompanied by mutations that replace, duplicate or change password characters in a way used by typical computer users to increase your password strength.
Mask attacksFor mask attacks to work, some knowledge of the password is enough. However, if little is known about the password, even the smallest bit of information helps reduce the number of password attempts. By specifying the approximate length or structure of the password and entering characters that were or were not used, an expert can reduce the number of attempts.
Combination attacksallow you to combine dictionary words from two different dictionaries, with separators automatically added
Finally,Hybrid attackExperts to create extremely flexible rules that describe passwords likely to be chosen by a particular user. The rules are described in a file, in a format compatible with industry-standard password recovery tools.

Accelerated brute force attack
If no details about the password are known, Advanced Office Password Recovery uses the last resort: the brute force attack. Thanks to its highly optimized, low-level code, Advanced Office Password Recovery offers the best brute force password cracking performance in its class.
Guaranteed password recovery
Unlock password-protected Word documents and Excel spreadsheets by cracking the encryption rather than recovering the original password. Advanced Office Password Recovery can decrypt Microsoft Office documents saved in certain older formats with a guaranteed result and in a guaranteed time. It doesn't take long to try all possible encryption keys in the 40-bit range. A modern PC can effectively unlock a document in a few hours, while using patented Thunder Tables technology can reduce this time to seconds for most files.
Thunder Tables® technology (patented)
The unique Thunder Tables® technology developed by ElcomSoft uses pre-calculated tables to significantly speed up the recovery of 40-bit keys for Microsoft Word files. The technology unlocks a protected Word document in seconds instead of days. By pre-calculating the hash tables and providing them on a USB flash drive, Advanced Office Password Recovery can effectively break the protection of Microsoft Word documents with 40-bit encryption.
For Microsoft Excel tables, the pre-calculated Rainbow Tables are provided, which allow to decrypt about 97% of compatible Excel tables. The full set of tables (Thunder Tables® for Word and Rainbow Tables for Excel) is supplied with certain editions of Advanced Office Password Recovery (see the Compatibility Table for more information).
