Document protection issue
Hi, Is there any way of recovering a document that has been password protected? I have been rather stupid and password protected a Word document, but yes, I have forgotten the password.
Restrictions applied via the Restrict Editing pane can be circumvented if you import the restricted document content into a new, blank document (use the Insert File dialog box).
Hi. I can't even get into the document due to password.
That is a different story. Trying to break a password set for opening a document is not allowed in the Microsoft communities, as Doug said.
