Have you tried the program from Elcomsoft(of eBook fame)?

If you are in NT/2000/XP you can log in as an Administrator and take ownership of the file.

Have you made it password to open, or password to modify? If it is password to modify, then there is simple crack for it out there. Try hard to remember the password because there is no easy way to bypass it unless you chose a very insecure algorithm.

I don't think that will help since the protection is not done through NTFS. It's contained inside the file, much like a protected ZIP archive.

Cracking a ZIP password basically requires brute force and Word files are probably the same.
