How to open password protected Word file

Asked By farhadazam 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/23/2011

My friend sent me a Word file which is password protected but he can't remember its password. I searched for a free password recovery software but I can't find any. If anyone knows a free software to recover or remove its password, please tell me.

If you want very fast recovery of your password then use this link

Unlock password of Word document:

• First, open the document and do a "Save as …" specify rich text format (RTF). It will end up being something.rtf call.
• Now open the RTF file by double clicking on it. It should look identical to the original Word file.
• Final step: save the RTF file with a new name as a Microsoft Word document format.

That's all there is to do. You have evaded the read-only lock on the file from your boss sent you and they're good to go.
