Dave, I just got another read-only password-protected Word file from my boss and I’m hoping there’s a way to sidestep the password because he gets really mad every time I ask him to unlock the file and/or send me an unprotected version.

One question. When you dont know the password, how can you open the file and save it as RTF format ? I have been looking the responses all over the world, but when a guy doesn’t have the password, how can you suggest it to OPEN FIRST ??? and thn save it in the RTF format….

I saved one of my very important word document keeping a difficult string combinational password so that others may not be able to read it but the problem is that I myself forgot it. I have tried all possible password combinations but being unable to open it. I have even tried to search in the net to solve it but got only trial versions with limited pwd length trackers and hence unable to recover it till the date. I got your site and hence keeping my problem to you hoping to get help so that I could reopen it. Hoping of getting your kind and successful result.
