Why a Locked Presentation Needs a Recovery Tool
Four facts about PowerPoint passwords and how PCVITA software answers them.
- 1
PowerPoint Cannot Retrieve It
Microsoft states that a lost presentation password cannot be retrieved. PCVITA software searches for it on your PC.
- 2
Removal Needs the Password
PowerPoint asks for the original password before it removes protection. PCVITA software finds that password first.
- 3
Hints Cut the Search Time
A known prefix or suffix shrinks the search. Mask mode takes both.
- 4
PowerPoint Stays Installed
The software needs PowerPoint on your computer. Install it first and then start the recovery.
Prepare Before You Recover a PowerPoint Password
Six checks before your first recovery. Tick the boxes in order, then open the software.
- Write down what you remember about the password. A length, a character type, a prefix or a suffix all help.
- Copy the presentation to a safe folder. Work on the copy.
- Check that PowerPoint is installed before you start. The software needs it.
- Install the .NET Framework on the PC. Version 4.8 is the listed prerequisite.
- Choose the recovery mode first. Brute Force suits no hint and Mask suits a known part.
- Test the free demo on your presentation before you pay. Download the demo edition and see two characters.
