Password Recovery

Have you lost the password to an Office file such as a spreadsheet or document ?.. Maybe you’ve got an encrypted archive file like a Zip, RAR or 7Z and you’ve no idea of the password?.. Or maybe you’ve got an encrypted hard drive and need a password to access the data ? Data Clinic can retrieve lost passwords from all of these to restore access to your data.

Recovering Data from Password Protected Files
A bit of background

Encrypted files don’t actually store the passwords they are encrypted with in plain text. Instead they store a cryptographic representation of the password in the form of a hash. This hash is nothing like the password. For example, the password may be something like “Passw0rd”, but it’s hash will be something like “9DEE45A0B690234AA8”

Finding the hash value of the password is not enough  to ‘crack’ the password as entering the hash value in the password field will not work. Instead the hash itself needs to be cracked in order to find its equivalent password. This is often done by a program that tries millions of different character combinations and ‘hashes’ each one until the hash values match. Once the correct hash is found the password is found also.

Honestly could not fault the customer service of this company! So friendly and helpful on the phone, they arranged dpd to collect my water damaged phone from my place of the work the very next day of my initial enquiry.The following day they contacted me to let me know they had received it which was very reassuring and a lovely touch.They managed to restore all of my data which I was so thrilled about as I honestly thought I would never get my sons baby photos back. They put the data on a memory stick and sent it by next day delivery. Amazing service and so thankful for all their help!! Would definitely recommend this company!!
