    Opening password protected word document

    Anyone know how to open a password protected word document without the password? someone has e-mailed me a 50 page document that I needed delivered and managed to pw protect it and forget the password - any ideas?! Can't even open it for read only.

    Cheers

    I use an app called Passware which has all the cracks etc for this.

      There are some dodgy pieces of software that can crack it for you - have a google, but be careful about what you install before you do it!

        Yeah - you're going to need a third party utility to unlock it.

        Do a search on t'internet - you have to pay for most of them but if you search hard, there are some freebies available.
