Toshiba Laptop Turnkey Password Recovery Service

Password Crackers, Inc. offers the most complete range of options to recover Microsoft Word passwords including our Absolute Word/Excel recovery (AWE) service. This service can decrypt password protected Word 97/2000 documents in 3 to 5 days regardless of the length of the password. This service is guaranteed and works 100% of the time.

Prior to the Office 97/2000 version, Word did not feature a secure encryption algorithm and passwords could easily be recovered from Word (.doc) files.

With Office 97/2000, Microsoft has significantly upgraded the encryption algorithm used in Word. While the password provides a substantial amount of security there are two forms of attack which can be used against Word documents: brute-force and encryption key attacks.

In a brute-force attack every possible combination of characters is tested against the password until a match is found. This can take a very long time and this method will only be successful on reasonably short passwords. Some level of enhancement and skill can be added to this method by carefully planning the sequence of guesses and the character sets used. Because people generally chose short, easy to remember passwords we have an approximate 70% success rate with this method.

Our current configuration can brute-force test more than 750,000 passwords per second. This is almost 10 times faster than some commercial software products running on a single Pentium PC. In a brute-force attack where the only output is your password; quality = speed. Don't buy any software until after you have benchmarked it for speed and understand the practical limits of this form of testing.

For instance, when we run this test we typically test all possible 5 digit passwords, all 6 and 7 character lower case passwords and all 6, 7 and 8 character digit only passwords. This is 16,273,555,776 passwords, which will take us approx. 6 hours to complete testing. If we were to extend this to all possible 6 digit passwords, all 7 and 8 character lower case passwords and all 7, 8 and 9 character digit only passwords there would be 992,274,938,496 possible passwords to test and it would take approximately 15 days. To brute-force test for all possible passwords up to Microsoft's 15 character limit would take approx. 44,000,000,000,000,000 years. That is a brief example of why brute-force testing will only work for short passwords. Many users may not be in a position to tie up multiple computers for the days that it will take to make a reasonable attempt at the password. With Password Crackers, Inc. you pay nothing extra for the use of our equipment and you pay nothing at all if we fail to recover the password.

If you have a Word 97/2000 document, which service is right for you? If you have time, we suggest you let us run the brute-force check for the short passwords before committing to the more expensive Absolute Word/Excel (AWE) recovery service. There is no obligation if the brute-force attempt fails. However, brute-force testing will delay the start of the AWE recovery.
