Do such utilities work for real? I have seen some people using 16 digit passwords, can such softwares crack those passwords? it would take months before all the brute-forcing techniques are applied on the file. Or do these software work differently?

My guess is all such softwares use brute-forcing to unlock the passwords. And that procedure takes sometime. Please keep the thread updated with the software mentioned @amit.
