IMyFone Passper for Excel
Price: $
You want to open an Excel file that was locked by password but you don't know the password because you have forgotten it or you didn't know it in the first place. What about dealing with Excel files with printing restrictions and similar? There is a solution, and it's called iMyFone Passper for Excel.
It offers the possibility to remove restrictions from Excel files. Restrictions that can be removed include printing restrictions and restrictions to copy and edit Excel files. So, let's take a look at what are the ways you can unlock password-protected Excel files.
iMyFone Passper for Excel offers four ways of recovering the password of Excel files, thus maximizing the chance of unlocking it in a decent amount of time. A combination and mask attack are the best options if you know any information about the password such as its length, and are also the fastest.
A dictionary and brute-force attack are also an option, but those might take more time depending on the password's strength. If the password is completely random, then the dictionary attack will not work at all. If the password is too strong then the brute-force attack might also take too long to be sensible.
In conclusion, iMyFone Passper for Excel can be useful for unlocking weak Excel passwords or passwords with known information about them. It is also useful for removing restrictions from Excel documents. There is one downside though, in order to even run the unlocking process or to remove any kind of restrictions, a license needs to be obtained.
