Hey, friends! Today I'm going to share some super practical Excel password cracking techniques with you, allowing you to easily retrieve those forgotten important data.

In our daily work and life, we often encounter the need to open Excel files with passwords. Sometimes, we may forget the password or the password is changed by others. What should we do at this time? Don't worry. I'll introduce some effective methods to you.

I. Try common passwords

First, we can try some common passwords, such as "123456", "password", "admin", etc. These passwords are often used by many people. Maybe your file password is one of them. Of course, this method is not very reliable because if the password is set more complicatedly, these common passwords cannot open the file.

II. Use Excel's built-in recovery tool

Excel itself has some recovery tools. We can try to use these tools to crack the password. The specific operations are as follows:

1. Open the Excel file, click the "File" menu, and select the "Information" option.
2. In the "Information" page, click the "Protect Workbook" button and select "Encrypt with Password".
3. In the pop-up "Encrypt Document" dialog box, enter the correct password and then click the "OK" button.
4. Click the "File" menu again, select the "Information" option, and then click the "Protect Workbook" button and select "Encrypt Document".
5. In the pop-up "Encrypt Document" dialog box, enter the wrong password and then click the "OK" button.
6. At this time, Excel will pop up a prompt box telling you that the password is wrong. After clicking the "OK" button, Excel will automatically save a backup file with the file name suffix of ".xlk".
7. Open the backup file, and you can see the data in the file, but the password has been cleared.

It should be noted that this method is only applicable to Excel 2007 and below. If your Excel version is 2010 or higher, this method may not be used.

III. Use third-party password recovery software

In addition to Excel's built-in recovery tools, we can also use some third-party password recovery software to crack the password of Excel files. These software usually have stronger cracking capabilities and can crack more complex passwords.

At present, there are many excellent third-party password recovery software on the market, such as Passware Kit for Excel, Elcomsoft Office Password Recovery, etc. The usage methods of these software are relatively simple. Generally, you only need to operate according to the prompts of the software.

Taking Passware Kit for Excel as an example, the specific operations are as follows:

1. Download and install the Passware Kit for Excel software.
2. Open the Passware Kit for Excel software, click the "Add File" button and select the Excel file that needs to crack the password.
3. In the "Select Cracking Type" drop-down list, select "Excel File Password Cracking".
4. In the "Set Cracking Parameters" area, set the type, length, character set and other parameters of the cracking password.
5. Click the "Start Cracking" button, and the software will automatically start cracking the password.
6. After the cracking is completed, the software will display the cracked password.

It should be noted that using third-party password recovery software to crack passwords is an illegal act. If you do not have the authorization of the file owner, please do not use these software.

IV. Prevent password loss

Finally, I would like to remind you that in order to avoid password loss, we can take some preventive measures. For example, record the password in a safe place or use password management software to manage passwords. In this way, even if we forget the password, we can easily retrieve it.

In short, Excel password cracking is not a difficult thing. As long as we master some effective methods, we can easily retrieve the forgotten important data. If you have any other questions about Excel password cracking, please feel free to consult me at any time!
