This page contains statistics reflecting the fraction of successfully recovered passwords for different applications and versions of MS Office. The statistics are automatically updated every 10 seconds.
Please note that service efficiency is steadily improved, and thus the statistics are sometimes cleared. The last reset was on 02/02/2020.
"Remove Password" efficiency
The service first attempts to find password protection vulnerabilities and open the document – this happens almost instantly.
| Application | Unprotected percent | |
|---|---|---|
| MS Office 97-2003 | 100.00 % | |
| MS Office 97-2003 CSP | 56.80 % | |
| MS Office 2007-2010 | 60.01 % | |
| MS Office 2013-2019 | 61.99 % | |
Overall service efficiency
If the service fails to detect protection vulnerabilities using instant methods, it will suggest using a more resource-intensive option: the password attack using a specialized supercomputer. The supercomputer is capable of generating as many passwords a day as a regular computer would do in a year. The table provides summaries for the two methods:
| Application | Unprotected percent | |
|---|---|---|
| MS Office 97-2003 | 100.00 % | |
| MS Office 97-2003 CSP | 81.56 % | |
| MS Office 2007-2010 | 80.38 % | |
| MS Office 2013-2016 | 78.63 % | |
Note that all passwords restricting shared access and VBA project passwords are always instantly removed from any supported document regardless of its format.
The service efficiency is steadily improved.
