How Word Recovery Works
Upload Your File
Upload your password-protected DOC or DOCX file. We detect the encryption type and estimate recovery difficulty.
Server-Powered Recovery
Our powerful servers run millions of password combinations per second using dictionary attacks, brute force, and pattern matching.

Once found, you receive the password via email. You only pay if we find your password. Simple PINs (up to 4 digits) and top 10K common passwords are FREE if found during Fast Check.

Common Word Recovery Scenarios
Word documents are used across every industry. Here are common situations where our service helps:
Open Password vs. Edit Restriction
Word has two different protection mechanisms:
Open Password
Prevents opening the document entirely. You see a password prompt before any content is shown. This is what we recover.
Edit Restriction
Allows reading but prevents editing. Can be bypassed by saving as a new file or using the document inspector. No password recovery needed.
