This program is intend to recover information from Microsoft Word 97/2000T documents which are protected with the password if it is lost or unknown. "WordDecryptor" allows you to recover your document, but doesn't allow to recover password which file is protected with.

Also our program allows to recover information from several files at a time without any noticeable performance loss.
