Accent WORD Password Recovery is a password cracker for .DOC files. It can crack two types of passwords often used in .DOC files, the open and modify passwords.
In my testing, I was able to crack a modify password created using Office 2003, so later versions might work as well. The trial version of this app can only crack passwords of up to four characters in length. I used "dada". It is a very basic password, and the application cracked it almost instantly. I was quite amazed at the speed at which my password was guessed.
Accent WORD Password Recovery uses three methods to crack passwords. The first one is a brute-force attack, which uses combinations of characters to guess the password. It will use all the characters you select in any possible combination. The second one is a dictionary attack, which will try words in a TXT file to guess the password. The third one is what is called a mask, which is an advanced way of creating combinations of characters.
All in all, this tool works very well. It guessed a password in no time and it seems to support more versions than I believed. It is worth a try.
