Canadian Password Recovery — CRA, QuickBooks & Encrypted Office Files
Forgotten the password to a CRA Notice of Assessment, a QuickBooks export, an old encrypted T4 PDF, or a client's password-protected ZIP? We recover passwords from PDF, Microsoft Office and archive files. PIPEDA-aligned, no upfront fee for the free check.
Used by Canadian bookkeepers, notaries and accountants for compliant file recovery.
Files We Recover for Canada Users
CRA Notice of Assessment PDFs
Older CRA PDFs encrypted with 40-bit RC4 are guaranteed recoverable via direct key extraction — typically within minutes.
QuickBooks / Sage exported XLSX
Bookkeeper exports protected with older Excel 40-bit encryption — guaranteed; AES versions depend on hint quality.
T4 / T5 encrypted PDF bundles
Tax-slip PDFs protected with PDF 1.4 RC4-128 are recoverable for typical password lengths used by employers.
Bell/Rogers router config backup
ISP router config exports protected with 7-Zip — small files crack fast on dictionary attacks.
Notary disclosure ZIP/RAR
Notary-shared archives using ZipCrypto crack quickly. AES-256 versions need a memory hint to be efficient.

Canada FAQ
Is using this service legal in Canada?
Yes — recovering a password to your own file is fully legal in Canada. We require ownership attestation and refuse files where ownership cannot reasonably be established.
Will the CRA accept the recovered PDF?
The file is byte-identical after unlock — only the password is stripped. CRA accepts the recovered PDF as-is.
Are you compliant with provincial privacy laws (Quebec Law 25, BC PIPA)?
Yes. Encrypted at rest, auto-purge after 24h, no transfer outside North America for paid recoveries on request.
Do you accept Interac e-Transfer?
Stripe (CAD card payments) is the default. For invoices over CAD 200, Interac e-Transfer can be arranged on request.
