Locked out of an Excel file with forgotten or unknown password? Upload it — our GPU cluster recovers the password so you can open it again. Free to try, pay only on success.
An open password encrypts the whole workbook. Sheet or workbook protection is a separate, lighter restriction.
Recovery process
Upload your encrypted .xlsx or .xls file. Our system detects the exact encryption type automatically.
Our GPU cluster runs billions of password attempts — dictionary attacks, rule mutations, and brute-force patterns. Runs 24/7.
When we find the password, you receive it by email. Enter it in Excel and your file opens. Pay only on success.
The file is fully encrypted — Excel asks for a password before showing anything. This is the hard one: the entire file content is AES-encrypted. You cannot open it, view it, or read its sheets without the correct password. This is what our service recovers.
The file opens fine, but some sheets or the workbook structure are locked. You can view content but cannot edit certain cells or unhide sheets. This type of protection can often be bypassed without the original password using VBA macros (for older Excel) or third-party tools.
Common situations
The file extension and encryption generation set realistic expectations before a recovery starts.
Next step
Upload your file and let our GPU cluster recover the password. Old .xls files have very high success rates. Modern .xlsx — pay only if we succeed.
