Is password-find.com any good?

[X82]

I have a word document I need to gain access too. A disgruntled former employee thought it would be funny to password protect one of our clients files.

There are obviously dozens of software solutions which I've looked into and can take days, even weeks to finish on a fast PC left on 24/7. One of the cloud based solutions is password-find.com. But I'm dubious. I don't want me/the company to pay out $40 on something which won't work. They promise it will be cracked within 24 hours or your money back, which sounds great.

Anyone heard of this site? Or know of a solution which can help? It's a .docx file.

Not enough evidence. It's one of those "hunches" where you know he locked the file but can't prove it. We don't access the document often, maybe every 3 days. But it's odd that after he leaves we can't gain access.

I know how my company will work, will write the file off and ask us minions to re-do it. It's confidential so I cant say what's in it exactly. But suffice it to say it's a large file with literally weeks of work to put back. I have discussed how to prevent this in the future, but after the horse has bolted and all that.

I'm tempted just to take a punt on this site and see what happens, but I've looked into their twitter, hardly any activity and their facebook, 4 likes.

The file is stored on one of our network drives. We tried this method for a shift rota which was modified and saved. Didn't work. Repairing that was easy, just an excel table. This however..

When things like this happen it does make you wonder how some companies stay alive. But on the other hand, since this protected file has cost us time and makes us look silly to our clients, management will now get group IT to sort this issue out.

As for this site, I am truly tempted and I agree it doesn't scream thieves but still.

If it's nothing important i'm happy to crack it for you, i use elcomsoft and it's always provided great results. Obviously the only limiting factor being the strength of the password and any info you know about what it may be.

Might be an idea, the only issue is, will this reveal the password? My colluege today spotted another file, not as important but still, which we can't open. Will "cracking" it give us the password he used in case we find other files further along? Or is cracking each one the only viable option?
I am liaising with my boss as I speak.

Your trust? Sorry, I don't understand.
I managed to get a few files which are locked. Since one of the main files is confidential, I can send you a minor file, hopefully the password revealed there will help with the others.
