Thank you from the bottom of my heart, indeed. File arrived, and after 12 years it is most interesting to read again. The only document I ever had password-protected...

It is, by the way, my fearless, searching moral inventory as suggested by Step 4 in AA. I trust that you have your copy deleted by now. If not - well, no harm is done if anybody reads it after all this time. It could even be something my Higher Power has arranged, there may be reasons.

Your service is most helpful and I will surely recommend it.

I think your service is great!

I have been trying to guess this password and looking for ways to unlock the document for over 8 years now - what you guys accomplished in less than a couple of days, I've been trying to do for almost a decade.

Also, of course if I've kept the document for that long and put so much effort into it, I have great sentimental value in it! I really appreciate all your help!

The service is fast, efficient, and trustworthy!

Just want to thank you for being so responsive and turning this file around so quickly. I also want to let you know your GUI was excellent! Simple, straightforward and complete. The payment process was also perfect with several options to choose from and all links and connections working perfectly.

My short advice: DO NOT change anything!! Just sit back and stay focused on customer service :-) ...

Thank you again and all the greatest continued successes.

Cordially,

Frequently Asked Questions

Fast decryption is only an option for Excel/Word files with 40-bit encryption keys. That means the service will work with any file created in Excel/Word 97-2003 with .doc/.dot and .xls/.xla extension. Files created in the latest versions of the Microsoft Office suite (those with the .xlsx/.docx extensions) cannot be decrypted because the encryption key are much longer. In order to restore access to Microsoft Office 2007-2013 files, you have to recover the actual password.
No. The AccessBack.com service will decrypt your document free of charge and email you an image of the first page of the decrypted file. Once you are sure the decryption was successful, you have the option of paying for the entire decrypted file.
You won’t. The AccessBack.com service removes the password from your Excel/Word file instead of recovering it. We do this by finding the encryption key, not the actual password.
