The software converts your password using some form of cryptic formula. lets say your password is '12345'. that is what you see. but the software converts it to something like 'xxljfsf098rjklnfsnj43l5l3j4' etc. its cryptic. now when you re-enter the password it will again be converted using that same formula used to convert your initial password and check whether the stored password matches with the one you entered. if not matched you cant open or login. that's how the process goes. how cryptic your password will be is decided based on the formula used to convert it. we call these formulas as 'encryption algorithms'. these algorithms are very complex. so when you forget the password it can be very difficult or impossible to recover it without some alternative form of recovery mechanism in place. there are several ways to crack these passwords. one most guaranteed method is a 'brute force' cracking. but you know what that is one of the hardest and most time consuming methods. cracking passwords on a desktop pc or a laptop in brute force method, can take years. we must have super computing power to do something like that. especially office 2007 uses an advanced encryption algorithm than older office versions, so it can be virtually impossible to crack it. there are lots of factors to determine how long it will take. password length, how many different characters it has, number of different patterns the algorithm can produce ...etc. Considering all these things I think you should give up buddy. Its just a waste of time to crack it.I don't know how much you understand this technical description but I think it will help you understand how difficult it can be to crack any password.</blockquote>
