PDF & Excel · Document utility

Locked out of your own file?
Get back in.

LockForge Utility Tools helps you regain access to your own password-protected PDF and Excel documents — whether you still know the password or have forgotten it.

How it works

Two ways to restore access to a document you own or are authorized to open.

1

Confirm you own the file

Before any job runs, you attest that you own the file or are authorized to access it. We record that attestation for accountability.

2

Upload your PDF or Excel

Drop in the protected .pdf or .xlsx. Files are processed securely and are automatically deleted within 24 hours.

3

Remove or recover

Remove protection instantly when you know the password, or recover a forgotten one with a dictionary, known-pattern, or bounded search.

Built for the files you already own

A focused document utility — not a hacking tool. Everything is gated behind ownership confirmation.

🔓

Known-password removal

Already know the password but tired of typing it? Remove the protection and get a clean, unlocked copy in seconds.

🧩

Known-pattern recovery

Remember part of it? Enter the characters you know and let LockForge search only the unknown positions — fast and precise.

📖

Dictionary search

Supply a word list of likely passwords and LockForge checks each one until it finds a match.

⏱️

Attempt-bounded

Recovery is capped per plan, so it's practical for short or partially-remembered passwords — and can't feasibly break strong, random ones.

🗑️

Auto-deleted files

Your uploads are processed transiently and purged automatically within 24 hours. We don't keep your documents.

🔐

Accountable by design

Every job is tied to an identified, subscribed account with a logged ownership attestation.

Security & responsible use

LockForge is designed for legitimate document recovery, with safeguards baked in.

Ownership attestation

You confirm you own or are authorized to access each file before processing — and we log it with a timestamp.

Transient processing

Uploaded files are deleted automatically within 24 hours. Recovered results are yours alone.

Gated behind accounts

Recovery requires a paid, verified subscription — it isn't open to anonymous use.

Secure payments

Payments are handled by our Merchant of Record, Dodo Payments. We never store your card details.
