Some users resort to the document protection built into Microsoft Office: they set passwords to open a document. However, after a long time, the password can be forgotten and the document cannot be opened.
Necessary
Office Password Recovery program
Instructions
Step 1
There are utilities that solve this problem: for example, Office Password Recovery. Find and download Office Password Recovery to your computer. This software can be found at softodrom.ru. Carefully read the description of the program on the pages before downloading: some versions of the program are free, some are paid. Try to install in the system directory of the operating system, as such programs should be stored there.
Step 2
Install the program to the local drive of the operating system. Run the application. Office Password Recovery prompts you to specify the file to restore access to. Do this by clicking on the Open button. Set the switch to Recover the password. Click on the Next button. In the next window, select the password parameters: the expected number and type of characters. Click on the Start button to start processing the document. Finding a password will take some time (depending on the speed of the computer itself). It is also worth noting that the time it takes to find a password on a personal computer depends on the complexity of the combination.
Step 3
If you are unable to download programs from the Internet, use the online resources for document recovery. For example, the site https://www.recoveryfiles.ru/ provides free assistance to solve such access problems. If you have set a password for editing only and the document can be opened, just copy all the text to the clipboard and paste it into a blank document for later editing. Save the created document after editing without a password. You can set a new password, but keep it on an information medium or write it down from a notepad.
