Advanced Excel Password Recovery

Excel's ability to password protect files first came out in 1997 and has a number of tricks and limitations to it that can make recovery feasible if you've lost the password to a file. Excel uses passwords in multiple ways, and encrypts the password with moderately strong encryption. Excel passwords can be set at the file level (restricting who can open, and who can modify a worksheet) and at the worksheet level (by protecting specific cells or worksheets and requiring a password to modify them).

Password Limits

1.Excel passwords are limited to 15 alphanumeric characters and are case sensitive. These limitations can make it easier to brute force the recovery of the password. Psychological Tricks.

2.If you know the person who created the spreadsheet, it's possible that you can guess the password to it; surprisingly common passwords include 123456, a birth date, a date associated with the project or a project keyword.

Early Version Issues

3.Prior to Excel 2000, Excel stored its password information in plain text within the header of the file, and can be gotten at with a hexadecimal editor. After Excel 2000, the passwords are encrypted in the file.

Password Recovery Services

4.Excel password recovery services look through the headers of your file for the encrypted password, to determine its length. They then use a program to enter every possible legal password into the spreadsheet to open it.

Password Removal Utilities

5.Most desktop applications that call themselves password recovery utilities are actually password removal utilities. It's easier to remove the portion of an Excel file that contains the password and make it unlocked than to try to recover the password.
