Depending on how much you know about your password, you can choose one of the three recovery methods offered by Key 6.1:
- Brute-force attack: This method tries all possible combinations of characters until it finds the correct password. It is the most effective but also the most time-consuming method.
- Mask attack: This method is useful if you remember some parts of your password, such as the length, the prefix or the suffix. You can set a mask with symbols to indicate the unknown parts of your password, and Key 6.1 will try only those combinations that match the mask.
- Dictionary attack: This method is based on a predefined dictionary of common words or phrases that people use as passwords. You can use the default dictionary provided by Key 6.1 or create your own one.
You can also adjust some settings for each method, such as the character set, the password length range, or the GPU acceleration option.
Step 4: Start the recovery process
After choosing a recovery method and setting the options, click on the "Start" button to begin the recovery process. Key 6.1 will display the progress and estimated time on the screen. You can pause or stop the process at any time.
Step 5: Recover your password
When Key 6.1 finds your password, it will show it on the screen and also save it in a text file. You can then copy and paste it to open your Excel file.
