When you save a file in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access or Outlook, you have the option of encrypting it with a password. While this is great for security, you could end up losing important information if you forget your passkey.

Cocosenor Office Password Tuner is a versatile software solution that can help you retrieve passwords used to encrypt numerous types of Office files. It offers multiple attack types and features a straightforward UI.

If you use multiple applications from the Microsoft Office suite on a regular basis, you will be pleased to find that this program can process Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and Outlook files, even those saved to older formats.

It is also important to note that the utility does not require Microsoft Office to be installed on your PC, as it can recover your passwords without relying on any third-party software.

If you can remember one or two things about the lost password, it may be a good idea to select the mask attack type and enter any characters you already know, as this can speed up the operation greatly.

On the other hand, if you remember next to nothing about the passkey, a brute-force attack is more suitable. It attempts to find the password by trying numerous combinations, but you can also specify which sets of characters should be used.

Lastly, the dictionary attack is the best choice if your password contains regular words, and you can even replace the default dictionary file with one of your own.

All in all, Cocosenor Office Password Tuner is a reliable piece of software that can come to your aid should you even forget an important Office password. It offers a strong set of features, along with a fairly extensive user manual, and it is very easy to use.
