• A: There are 3 available attacks in Word Password Unlocker to recover lost Office password with Brute-force Attack, Brute-force with Mask Attack and Dictionary Attack.
• Brute-force Attack can help you try all possible combinations if you remember nothing about the password.

• Q: 2. What's the "Character Set" and how can I set it?
• A: It is only available for "Brute-force with Mask Attack" . It can instruct the program what characters have been used in the password and restrict the search area.

• For Example, if you know that your forgotten Word password contains 5-9 characters which is composed of letters and numbers, and starts with "M", ends with "n", then you can do it like this to shorten your recovery time.

  • (1). Check the a-z box, 0-9 box, A-Z box
  • (2). Set Prefix ="M", Suffix="n";
  • (3). Set Min Length = "3" and Max Length ="7".
  Note: For there are 2 characters known as "M" and "n", thus the unknown password length must be 3-7."Custom Character Set" is provided for you to define your own character set which has been used in the password.


• Q: 3. What's the meaning of "Prefix" and "Suffix" in Brute-force with Mask Attack?
• A: Prefix is the first one or several characters of the password.

• Q: 4. What is "Dictionary Attack" and how to create your own dictionary?
• A: Dictionary Attack is an effective attack for you to recover lost password with a default dictionary provided in the program. The program will try every password in the dictionary. Besides, add your own dictionary to the program for less time-consuming with the most possible passwords which you used, such as your name, birthday, pet name, door number or others.


• Q: 5. What does "Smart Mutation" mean and how to set it?
• A: Mutation Count allows you to choose a number, that number means you can try combinations among the passwords in dictionary. For example, you choose 2, and then the program will try combinations between every two passwords in the dictionary after trying every password.


• Q: 6. I added my own dictionary to the program, but why does the program still use the default dictionary when I run the program?
• A: It will be ok if you empty the path of the default dictionary.


• Q: 7. What is the "Program Priority"?
