AccentSoft's Accent Office Password Recovery 2.20 will recover a forgotten password for Microsoft Word, Excel, or Access files. It seeks the lost password using one of three methods. The dictionary attach checks a range of common words, including misspellings. The pure brute force attack checks all possible combinations of valid password characters. And the masked brute force attack checks a specific subset of all possible characters—if you know, for example, that the password was at least six characters long and began with a digit, you can specify that in a mask.
