password ?

[dannie-o]

this is a serious question, please don't think i'm asking
this to be stupid.
here's some background info first: i personally, don't
have microsoft office, but my aunt who is a bookkeeper for
a company has it. she got into a bad auto accident this
week and as of recently has only been saying numbers (when
she's actually awake). there's a bunch of taxes and W2s
and stuff that need to be done.
first of all, i'm only 17 so i'm not the one planning to
work on the taxes but my mom (or sister of
the "accidentee") is going 'try' to because she also does
bookkeeping. the problem is my aunt 'passworded' her
Office and nobody has a clue what the password is. Is
there any possible way to get into it without the password?
*thanks for any information

There are companies that will remove passwords for you, but it costs BIG
bucks. Depending on the password used, it can take a lot of processing power
and time to crack an Office password; that's why they can get away with
charging so much.
