how can i crack password in msaccess”

i have found a really good tool to crack passwords in msaccess, but I cannot find a good one for excel passwords
the Passware Kit Demo seems to be a Trojan

search for Access PassView 1.12. This utility reveals the database password of every password-protected mdb file that created with Microsoft Access 95/97/2000/XP or with Jet Database Engine 3.0/4.0.

Good luck!

I have also found another nice excel password recovery tool…http://www.password-unlocker.com/. It supports MS office 2007, but it will take a while to recover 2007 files. If office 2003, the crack speed is very fast.

If you want remove a password in an office (.doc,.xls etc) file, please open that file in “OpenOffice software” i.e free software and then save it as a diferent name. Then open that new file, and see there is no longer any password protection.

To remove word passwords (winword 2003) just open the file and invoke microsoft script editor, (under tools>macro, or alt + shift + f11) and search for the password tag (press ctrl+f and type password), there should be a tag named unprotect password, delete it’s content and save. Close and open the file, it will still be protected but the unprotect password will be blank. NOTE: The text between the unprotect tag is not the password, it’s probably encoded or encrypted. This worked 4 me, hope it helps….

You can also open the xls file in Open Office 2.4 to unprotect password protected cells. This was changed in Open Office 3.0.1, so use the earlier version. You basically need to replace the password byte sequence with the byte sequence for a blank password, which is what open office does. This can also be done with a hex editor. Excel 2007 is different however.
