Password Protection

M

Mickey

Someone in our office has forgotten the password to a
document that they protected. Is there any way of
getting it? We tried simply cutting and pasting the
data, but not even that works.

Any info would be helpful.

Thanks

If the OP is able to access the data to cut and paste, a file-level
password-cracker like this won't help.

Hi Mickey,

No problem!

I quote from a recent post which I hope may prove helpful to you...

Please do not access any file unless you are authorised to do so.
