Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to remove passwords?
It is legal to remove passwords from files that you own or have permission to edit. Do not use this tool to access illegal content or files you do not have the rights to.
Can you crack any password?
No. Modern AES-256 encryption is extremely secure. If a strong password is used, it cannot be brute-forced in a reasonable time. Our recovery tool only helps with weak or common passwords.
