How to unprotect a Word document?

[JonTheBaller]

Is there any freeware tool to unprotect a Word document? I set a password about a year ago for a document which I no longer remember, and I would like to unprotect the document. Any ideas? Thanks.

This place should do it: http://www.lostpassword.com/

Or just email it to me and I'll run it through that software.

Sure you forgot the password to your document 😉 😉

is it write protected or completely password protected from opening it?

It's protected using the Microsoft Word protection. (Tools->Protect Document...)

so is it write protected or open protected?

if you go to tools > options > security thats how you protect it from being open.

I know of an easy way to unprotect a document that has protected changes.
