Break passwords and unlock documents instead of lengthy password recovery
Written by Bogdan Popa on April 4th, 2013
Advanced Office Password Breaker is a reliable tool designed to recover passwords from Microsoft Word and Excel documents.
Sporting a straightforward and clean interface, Advanced Office Password Breaker is aimed at beginners and more experienced users alike - figuring out how to use it is easy.
The main window holds all the features and options; the recovery processes involves loading the protected document, selecting a range, choosing a name for the output file and hit the start button.
Additionally, you may have a glance at the “Options” menu as well because it allows you to use code optimized for different types of processors, including Intel Core/Core2, AMD Athlon, Intel P4 SSE2 or non-MMX processors.
There's an autodetect tool that retrieves information about your processor, but also a dedicated feature that enables you to choose the number of CPUs you wish to use.
Since the recovery process may need more computer resources, Advanced Office Password Breaker enables you to configure the priority, so you can choose between idle, normal and high.
Another important setting concerns the so-called “Rainbow attack”, which could lead to a faster recovery process. You are prompted to provide pre-computer hash tables for Word and Excel documents and decide whether you want to use deep length analysis or not.
Depending on your settings, Advanced Office Password Breaker may seriously stress up the CPU and RAM, but it usually needs just a moderate amount of computer resources.
Overall, Advanced Office Password Breaker is one good choice when it comes to password recovery tools, but it only works with Word/Excel 97/2000 files, which is a major downside.

Limitations:
· Unregistered (trial) version of AOPB works only on single-CPU systems, i.e. uses only one CPU/core at a time regardless the number of CPUs/cores installed, and does not allow have two copies of the program running at the same time. Also, once the encryption key is found, it does not allow decrypting the document (though shows the key for the future use).
