= Overview =

AOXPPR (standard edition) is a program to recover lost or forgotten passwords to files/documents created in Microsoft Office applications (all versions up to 2002/XP): Word (password to open, password to modify, document protection password), Excel (password to open, password to modify, wokbook password, sheet passwords), Access (share-level passwords only). It can also reset MS Internet Explorer (3/4/5) Content Advisor password.

The program is compatible with all international (non-US) versions of MS Office.

Please note that "password to open" in Word/Excel 97/2000/XP is very strong and cannot be decrypted instantly. AOXPPR uses brute-force and dictionary attacks (plese look at the help file for details); generally, if this password is long and well-selected, it cannot be recovered. Other passwords in MS Office 97/2000/XP (and all passwords in older versions of MS Office), however, are weak, and AOXPPR gets them in a matter of seconds. MS Office XP files protected using CSP (Cryptographic Service Provider) are also supported.

If you want to recover passwords to file/documents created in other MS Office components (Outlook, VBA, user-level security in Access) and other Microsoft Software (such as Project, Backup, Mail, Schedule+), please get "professional" version of AOXPPR ($150); it is available at:
