This family of client software, server software, and services offers you the chance to do pretty much anything you would need in an office environment. You can write documents, create presentations, write e-mails, create spreadsheets, and more. Of course, this all comes at a price and making sure that your license is secure is a must. As such, getting access to any of your Microsoft Office components is usually done via logging in with an account name and password. The problem with passwords is that they are usually prone to be forgotten, and that can be really troublesome at times.

How do I recover my lost Microsoft Office password?

1. Use a dedicated Microsoft Office password recovery tool

Forgetting your Microsoft Office password is something that happens more frequently than anyone would like to admit. As such, the Internet is full of software tools dedicated specifically to recover your Microsoft Office password. However, you must know that these tools can only recover the password from older versions of Microsoft Office. These include:

Microsoft Office 95 Office 97 and 2000 Microsoft Office XP and 2003 Microsoft Office 2007 Office 2013

Here are some of the best Microsoft Office password recovery tools you can find online:

Keep note that most of them are hidden behind a paywall and that the free version offers little actual functionality.

2. Perform an Office 365 password recovery

This may seem like the most obvious choice, especially for those using Office 365.

However, this method only works if you have Office 365.
