Microsoft Office 2013 DocRecrypt Tool

Elsewhere on Winportal we presented the 2013 version of the Microsoft Office productivity suite. That version introduces a variety of new features and one in particular is related to the product presented in this article. The security features encompass the file password escrow key and here we present the release called Microsoft Office 2013 DocRecrypt Tool. It’s a command-line utility the IT administrators among you might appreciate as it will enable to change a password or unprotect OOXML or Office Open XML password-protected files, including MS Word, MS Excel and MS PowerPoint files.

The Microsoft Office 2013 DocRecrypt Tool doesn’t require any installation as you just run the command from a DOS prompt, together with the private key of the escrow certificate.

So, download this freeware Microsoft utility if interested.
