Why a Locked Presentation Needs a Recovery Tool

Four facts about PowerPoint passwords and how PCVITA software answers them.

  1. 1

    PowerPoint Cannot Retrieve It

    Microsoft states that a lost presentation password cannot be retrieved. PCVITA software searches for it on your PC.

  2. 2

    Removal Needs the Password

    PowerPoint asks for the original password before it removes protection. PCVITA software finds that password first.

  3. 3

    Hints Cut the Search Time

    A known prefix or suffix shrinks the search. Mask mode takes both.

  4. 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.

  1. Write down what you remember about the password. A length, a character type, a prefix or a suffix all help.
  2. Copy the presentation to a safe folder. Work on the copy.
  3. Check that PowerPoint is installed before you start. The software needs it.
  4. Install the .NET Framework on the PC. Version 4.8 is the listed prerequisite.
  5. Choose the recovery mode first. Brute Force suits no hint and Mask suits a known part.
  6. Test the free demo on your presentation before you pay. Download the demo edition and see two characters.
