it takes a few seconds to crack these passwords, so maybe think about encryption and better password protection program. nice idea though -gamer

Are they "secure"? (containing no less then one symbol, one number, one capital letter, and at least 6 other letters :-) All in all, I have over 40 passwords to "remember"....and some had to be changed monthly (thankfully not quite so often anymore).

Microsoft's document protection stuff is kind of a joke. I recently decovered that OpenOffice will open these types of documents without knowing the passwords.

That was true of older versions but Office 2007 uses 128 bit AES encryption when you save files in the new XML format and set a password to open. You can even bump the encryption up to 256 bit if you are in a non export controlled country. The only known attacks on these files are password guessing dictionary attacks and brute force. If a file has a long enough non dictionary password then cracking it via brute force is possible given enough time and horsepower but I doubt anyone would rent time on a cluster to get your Gmail password. If you really want to make cracking it unlikely name it something like "8th Grade Term Paper on 19th Century French Poetry"

If im not correct, you can edit word filz in notepad! Sure it is a little mangled, but its still readable...

On my computer, it is hard to read the screen shots. Some added explanation would be helpful.
