Extensive search - automatic mode which just removes your password. If this mode is set, the program modifies the password protected document in such a way that the document becomes unlocked and the password is not required anymore. It's a slow method, but can guarantee 100% password recovery. This method is easier to use, there are no options to tune, the only thing you should do is to select your password-protected Excel document.
Password template - manual user-defined mode to recover your password. You can start this user-defined mode if you have any idea about words, and characters you think were involved or surmise what was password's length etc. The program will generate a large number of possible symbols combinations exhaustively working through all of them, checking one-by-one in order to find the right password. This mode will take less time then the first one.
Dictionary attack - under this mode, the program finds passwords by using special word lists, all provided passwords are checked. If your password is a known word (not name or so) then you can use Dictionary attack as this method could speed up things to about 1/2 an hour. You can get Dictionaries (word lists) on the Internet, some dictionaries are available in Dictionaries section of our website.
