Ultimate Zip Cracker
   
Ultimate Zip Cracker from VDGSoftware restores lost ZIP, ARJ, Word and Excel password. It is priced at just $45.    
Ultimate Zip Cracker runs on Windows 95/98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.X, Windows 
XP and Windows 2000. The trial version of Ultimate ZIP Cracker will retrieve your 
password for free, for up to 5 character-length). For longer passwords, you will 
need to buy the full version.    
The WinZip/PKZip recovery mode supports standard zip encryption, but not the new 
AES encryption available in WinZip 9.    
The program is highly optimised for speed and supports the following search methods: 
 
- Password Wizard provides easy step-by-step password recovery. 
 - Brute Force Attack will test all possible passwords. 
 - Smart Search will test all 'pronounceable' passwords. 
 - Dictionary Search can use the build-in or external dictionary. 
 - Date search will apply different date formats to a given date range. 
 - Customised search will use your own search template. 
 - Guaranteed decryption method will decrypt your .DOC or .XLS file regardless 
of password used. 
 - Plaintext attack will decrypt your whole encrypted .ZIP file if you have another 
unencrypted Zip file (called plaintext file) which contains at least one file 
from the encrypted archive. 
 - The trial version of Ultimate Zip Cracker will reveal your password free of 
charge (for up to 5 characters in length). For all passwords greater than 5 characters 
you will need to purchase the full version.

Advanced Office Password Breaker (AOPB)
   
Advanced Office Password Breaker (AOPB) is a program to decrypt Word and Excel 
97/2000 files that have file open protection set, as well as Word and Excel XP 
files with default (Office 97/2000 compatible) encryption. The password length 
and complexity is not a problem. This is made possible by trying all possible 
encryption keys (instead of brute-force and dictionary attacks) and on average 
takes only about two weeks on single Pentium III/1000 PC (or just four-five days 
on faster dual-CPU systems). 
AOPB supports English runs on the following operating systems: Windows 95 / Windows 
98, Windows ME, Windows XP, WinNT 4.x, and Windows 2000. The free demo is 589 
Kb and the full version costs $79.  
However, this program does not work with files created in Word/Excel 95 or older, 
Word/Excel XP with new CSP protection (also known as advanced encryption), or 
for passwords other than file open passwords. With these files, Advanced Office 
XP Password Recovery has to be used.

Advanced VBA Password Recovery Pro
   
Advanced VBA Password Recovery (AVPR) can recover password protected VBA modules for Word 97/2000/XP, Excel 97/2000/XP, Outlook 2000/XP, Project 98/2000, PowerPoint 
97 and Visio 4/5.
   Using Advanced VBA Password Recovery, you can recover lost or forgotten passwords to Word and Excel macros. The password recovery engine can recover any password 
instantly in documents created in Office through version 97. For Office 2000/XP documents, a different protection method was used and the original password is 
not recoverable; fortunately there is an alternative way: you can reset a password to a known one, so you can get access instantly. This software also works with  .XLA files.    
This software is simple to use and stable, and there are free upgrades for registered 
users. We recommend AVPR to anyone who needs a powerful VBA password recovery 
package. If you need to recover different password types, Ultimate Zip Cracker 
(which can recover Word and Excel 97 and remove Office 2000 VBA passwords), is 
the right choice. But if you need to only recover or reset VBA passwords, then 
AVPR is highly recommended.

Free Word/Excel Password Recovery Wizard
   
We recommend this to users who need to open a password protected Word or Excel 
file that has a simple file open password and who don’t want to spend money on 
software. 
This package is free, and provides similar dictionary and brute force search functions 
to commercial software. A number of users have found it meets their needs and 
it is particularly user friendly.   
Since this software uses the .NET framework, you will need to have this on your 
system, or download the (rather large) framework files from the site. This package 
runs on Windows 98 and later operating systems.
