Lalim VBA Password Recovery

Lalim VBA Password Recovery is a small-sized and portable application developed to retrieve Microsoft Office VBA passwords from Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and Access databases. It offers support for .xls, .doc and mdb filetypes.

Portable tool with a simple interface

The entire program's packed in a single .exe file that you can drop in any part of the disk or copy to a USB flash drive, in order to seamlessly launch Lalim VBA Password Recovery on any computer without previous installations.
It doesn't create additional files without your confirmation, need any DLLs to run, or change the Windows registry configuration. If you want to remove it, all you have to do is delete the executable.
Elevated privileges might be required at launch to avoid startup and password recovery errors. The utility's wrapped in a rudimentary-looking interface made from just one window that gives you an overview of all options.

Recover Word, Excel and Access passwords

Once you've pointed out an Excel, Word or Access file using the file browser, the program automatically detects and reveals the key, showing it in the main window. It's not capable of finding multiple passwords to multiple files at the same time.
The password can be selected and copied with ease. Other programs typically use brute force attacks to decrypt keys, which means that they try all possible character combinations and number of characters to find out the password. This process may take a very long time, depending on the key's complexity.

Discontinued, yet functional utility

Unfortunately, Lalim VBA Password Recovery hasn't been updated for a long time and it's now discontinued, so it can no longer be purchased from the developer. On top of that, the demo version retrieves only keys made from one or two characters. However, you can still download and install the program from Softpaz if you already have a license.
