PASSWORD

i accidentally placed my document in password protection, but I never created
a password. Now I am unable to retrieve my school documents(12 pages). Since
I never created the password, I can I get it back?I am using Microsoft Office
and Home Student 2007

I am guessing he put a space or some other character in it by mistake.
Twelve pages, I have typed that much from memory...

THANK YOU EARLE,
But my memory seems to fade a little working 12 hour shifts at night and
going to school during the day. I did think of your reasoning also.

Thanks Peter,
But I've tried everything, and nothing seems to be working, even leaving
the space blank. Tryust me when I say, I have done all in my power not to ask
for help before actually sending. Even "Restore to earlier time"

There are various free password crackers available for Office components, do
a google search.
If you download anything you find ensure you scan the download with your AV
before opening

It's OT I guess to the problem but a useful way to remember passwords is
to use pronounceable sequences (not dictionary words). See eg. Tom Van
Vleck tools page This package generates pronounceable passwords. It uses
the statistics of three-letter combinations (trigraphs) taken from
whatever dictionaries you feed it ...

A Google search will turn up other online generators.

Don't know if it would work but i got into a password protected pdf file by
opening with a different program (was password protected in Acrobat and i
managed to open it with Brava)
could your document be opened with an open office program?
