    word password
    « on: April 05, 2008, 08:03:10 PM »
    I am in desperate need of help.  I have word 2007 and will give a brief explanation of what happened.  i had a loss in my family recently and a suggestion from a grief group was to write a letter to my loved one which i did.  i protected it with a password and now can't remember what it is.  I have a feeling all is lost but was hoping that there is someway to open my document.  Thanks for any help anyone can share.

      We don't offer advice on circumventing or recovering lost passwords.
      We have no way of knowing whether people have truly lost a password or is just trying to gain access to something they shouldn't.

      Surely the addressee is the person who needs the password?

        I am the addressee.  My son passed away in January and i have not been able to cope with this very well hench the grief group and the suggestion of a letter written to him.  unfortunately due to the medication the doctor has put me on i forget things and unfortuantely the password was one of those things.  i know there are people out there trying to get into other people's things but let me assure you i am not one of them.  just wanted to recover the partial letter i had written to my son so that i could finish it.

        I am sure that with a moment or two of thought you could come up with something to type into Google.

            I didn't get many replies but thank you to all that did.  I finally got it.  I usually use the same password for everything but this was so sensitive i changed it but just sat down and starting trying everything i could think of and i finally got it.  i had named the document "my son".  don't i feel stupid now but like i said on meds and things get fuzzy.  anyways thanks again.
