One of the basic security principles declared by Microsoft in concern to Office 2007 is to "make application functionality secure by default". Hence, Office 2007 implements a radically new format of files and the model of protection from unauthorized access to important data.

Passwords to open are extremely hard to break in Office 2007. To recover the password, brute-force attack or dictionary search must be used. These programs have been developed in such a way that even the most optimized password breaker works very slowly. There is no easy solution and no success guarantee. Unless the password is very short or a constitutes a simple dictionary word, you have to spend a lot of computing resources to recover it.
