As with any password-protected content, losing access to it can be real trouble, especially if you rely heavily on the contents of the said document. There are multiple software solutions that address such issues, and unless users have a really organized scheme for storing their credentials, the common approach is to deploy such programs. Any Word Password Recovery will offer one the means for retrieving the passwords for protected Word documents.

Inputting the required Word document can be done using the provided directory navigation wizard and having done so, users can then proceed with selecting a preferred decryption method. However, the application does not display any details about the loaded document. Although not essential, it would have been nice to have some metadata on display.

In addition to selecting one of the three methods, users can also perform some minor tweaks, such as selecting a preferred password length, letter casing or other options, for achieving a faster decryption process.

Having initialized the decryption process, users will then be able to preview the status of the progress, thanks to a nifty graphical bar. One really useful feature enables one to choose for the app to shut down the PC once the decryption task has been completed.

This is a good addition, especially when dealing with complex passwords, which can result in quite long processing times.

Give this app a try if you’re looking for a way back in if you’ve lost access to your Microsoft Office Word documents. Thanks to an overall minimalist demeanor and a quite straightforward handling, it can help you solve your issue without too much effort from your side.
