Overview of Word/Excel 97/2000 (40 bit) password protection: All passwords for Word and Excel from Office 97/2000, except the password for opening, can be recovered instantly.

It guarantees file decryption regardless of password length and complexity. It is possible to speed up this method even more by using huge precomputed tables, then the needed key can be found in few seconds.
