If you Google for password crack you will find some sources. However would
you give your credit card details to someone who cracks passwords for a living? -- Hope this helps.

Recover Word Password
If the documents are password protected against opening, the simple solution
would be to ask the ex-employee for the password. If they are protected for forms see http://www.gmayor.com/Remove_Password.htm Word's encryption is highly effective and you will not easily get past it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Alex Samol wrote: Dear Group, We have a common problem...employee quit and has many work and excel documents password protected.

Recover Word Password
I know I did that, and you get a lot of options...but can you trust theses
sites? I thought an Office 2000 word document requiring a password to open was an easy one to crack...guess not. Thanks for the feed back, Alex "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...

Recover Word Password
So far the disgruntled employee is refusing to provide the passwords. The
script editor requires that you open the document.not good because we need a password to open these documents. If I copy the document to another media type will the password follow?

Recover Word Password
You may have to recourse to legal action to recover the password from the
ex-employee, or the cost of employing someone to recreate the documents. Sometimes a big stick is the only solution. If the document is password protected against opening, then it is encrypted and you will not open it without the password. The various password cracking solutions rely on brute force cracking i.e. they try every possible combination. If your ex-employee has used a complex password this can take many hours - or days - to crack, and if he has used different passwords for different documents then this will have to be done for each document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Alex Samol wrote: So far the disgruntled employee is refusing to provide the passwords.
