We can recover a document open password to all versions of encrypted MS Office Word files (*.doc and *.docx). We don't recover a password for making changes (the so-called Permissions Password), but we can remove it from your document for free. Upload your file here and follow the instructions.
We offer you a free MS Word password recovery try with a search through a database of 3 million of the most popular passwords. This work is done very quickly (from a few seconds to a couple of minutes), and is successful in 22% of cases.
If no password is found, then we can start searching for the lost password through the 20+ billion passwords database. It is a paid service, see the prices below. According to our internal statistics, the probability of a successful password recovery in this case is about 61%. MS Office 2003 Word documents and its earlier versions are processed fast: within a few minutes. A later version of Word documents may be processed longer, up to 24 hours.
If you do not know the password, upload the document to the LostMyPass and start the password recovery process. After it is successful, you will receive the document password, and then you can open it and remove the password protection yourself.

Not all passwords are equally strong. Advanced Office Password Recovery provides instant access to many types of password-protected documents, including those created in Microsoft Word and Excel versions 97 and 2000. Later versions of Microsoft Word and Excel save documents and spreadsheets in compatibility mode by default making them available for instant password recovery.
By carefully analyzing the algorithms and implementations of password protection in different versions of Microsoft Office applications, ElcomSoft developed work-around solutions that allow recovering certain kinds of passwords instantly instead of performing lengthy attacks. Advanced Office Password Recovery is well aware of the various methods of password protection, and implements all the tricks that allow you to recover protected documents in a matter of seconds.
A large number of Microsoft Office documents is still saved in the legacy format for compatibility and interoperability reasons. The legacy format (which can be identified by the .doc/.xls extension as opposed to the modern .docx/.xlsx format) employs weak 40-bit encryption that predates the much stronger AES. Advanced Office Password Recovery has a special trick for such documents, allowing to break encryption by targeting the encryption key instead of the password.
With latest versions of popular office suites such as Microsoft Office 2019 implementing the strongest security, the success rate of pure brute-force attacks is low even in GPU-accelerated environments. Advanced Office Password Recovery employs a social engineering approach and implements smart attacks targeting human psychology.
Elcomsoft Advanced Office Password Recovery makes use of every bit of information you know about a password. Just specifying the company's security policy can reduce the time of the attack tenfold. The number and type of characters used in the password, and whether it contained any special symbols helps tremendously in reducing the time to recover the password.
The tool can decrypt password-protected Word .doc documents and Excel .xls spreadsheets saved as "compatible" within a limited timeframe. No need to perform lengthy attacks while a 40-bit encryption key can be crunched quickly and efficiently, and more 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.
Most passwords used by human beings are based on a single word or a combination of words from a certain language. Before reverting to the brute force attack, Advanced Office Password Recovery performs a full-scaled comprehensive attack based on a dictionary. Use a small built-in dictionary or specify your own dictionaries no matter the language, and Advanced Office Password Recovery will attempt single words and word combinations in different cases and variations.
Elcomsoft Advanced Office Password Recovery is the industry leader implementing highly sophisticated types of attacks. Dictionary attacks are accompanied with mutations that substitute, duplicate or modify password characters in a way used by typical computer users to increase their password strength.
Mask attacks allow putting any knowledge about the password to work. However little is known about the password, every little bit of information helps reduce the number of passwords to try. By specifying the approximate length or structure of the password and entering characters that were used or not used, an expert can reduce the number of passwords to try by a great deal.
Finally, the Hybrid attack enables experts to create extremely flexible rules describing passwords that were 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.
Unlock password-protected Word documents and Excel spreadsheets by breaking the encryption instead of recovering the original password. Advanced Office Password Recovery can decrypt Microsoft Office documents saved in certain legacy formats with a guaranteed result and in guaranteed time. It does not take long to try all possible encryption keys in the 40-bit space. A modern PC can effectively unlock a document in just hours, while using the patented Thunder Tables technology can cut this time to just seconds for most files.
The unique Thunder Tables technology developed by ElcomSoft uses pre-computed tables to significantly speed up the recovery of 40-bit keys for Microsoft Word files. The technology will unlock a protected Word document in a matter of seconds instead of days. By pre-computing the hash tables and providing them on a USB thumb drive, Advanced Office Password Recovery can effectively unprotect Microsoft Word documents with 40-bit encryption.
For Microsoft Excel spreadsheets the pre-computed Rainbow Tables are provided, allowing to unlock about 97% of compatible Excel spreadsheets. The complete set of tables (Thunder Tables for Word and Rainbow Tables for Excel) is delivered with certain editions of Advanced Office Password Recovery (see Compatibility Chart for details).
