Forgotten Password

My beloved wife has stored some Crucial Information (work-related) in a Word Document and password-protected it. Then she forgot the password she had chosen…

The question is this - Is there any way to access that document now?

Microsoft’s support site said “No”, but I was hoping one of the Great Brains amongst you might know of some Clever Trick that would help my beloved out of her pickle…

Gp

What version of Word is it?

Is it a large amount of information that she needs (like a couple of pages or more)? I can probably tell you how but it’ll be a bit tedious. If your interested let me know and I’ll e-mail you on how to do it or if you have AOL you can IM me and I can probably talk you through it.

She’s using Word 2000

I think it is just a few credit card numbers, not a large amount of info… I would be interested in the “how-to”, if it is not too much trouble.

Thanks

I’ll e-mail ya how to do. It should be in your in-box in about 10-15 minutes or so.

This program claims to do it.

I know nothing about it, appart from that it was one of the first hits found by google.

I know it says Word 97 but I just tried it on a Word 2000 document and it worked fine.

Hey grimpixie these programs look a bit easier than the way I just e-mailed you telling you how to do it. I’d try one of those ways first and if that doesn’t work try the way I told you in the e-mail.

The one I posted will let you crack passwords upto 5chr in length the one tc posted will work up to 4chr. Any more than that and you may have to go for the Amazing Tiki God way round.

Thanks all - worked nicely!!
