PDS Excel Password Recovery 5.5 Review |
Softango review
The spreadsheets you made for your boss last year regarding fiscal gains and losses need to be pulled up and printed out because he lost the copies you gave him. But the scenario here includes the fact that you lock all company information on Excel with a password and you don't remember what that password is. Whoops, is your boss going to be peeved!
No worries, if you have the PDS Excel Password Recovery software. It's a great little program that retrieves Excel file passwords that were either deleted accidentally or forgotten. If you don't have it on your PC at work, you can try the demo here for free to see how well it will work for you. I thought for sure I wasn't going to be able to retrieve an old workbook that I had filed away and locked, but PDS Excel Password Recovery found it, like magic, and brought up the workbook I needed.
It doesn't matter either, if you have workbooks done and locked under older versions of Excel. It works with all of them, even '95 XLS and XLSX files. Scary how twenty-year old files could still be in the system, but my boss keeps a backlog of everything, so I don't doubt they're out there. It even opens double-locked files that need a password to open and a password to alter data; it seems so Bond-ish I downloaded it for my home PC too.
Just remember though that this particular download is a demo, and it only shows the first three characters of the passwords. That's a problem if your boss is the kind that's replace his secretary no less than ten times in the last fifteen or twenty years. Then it takes a little extra guesswork, unless you buy the full program outright. I'd definitely recommend it, but don't charge it to the company unless you okay it with your boss first and it's a file you didn't work on and can't open without PDS Excel Password Recovery. If I can't get to my own files, then I'd buy the program on my own dime to cover my butt.
