Title: Break password protection on Word doc
Post by: Joleen on March 29, 2005, 08:49:14 AM

As the descriptive Subject outlines, I need to be able to break the password on a MS Word doc.  It asks for the pass before opening.

Thanks dl.  I had been to the first site along with several other pay options.  I'd much rather it be free.  The second option did not work, I think MS has patched that little hole.

Thanks again, that site with the 'free version' showed me the title of the document then wanted me to pay for the rest.  I think I have a .torrent coming down the pipe that will fix the issue.

Thanks again all.

Ok.. a mystery CH God (you know who you are) is the winner and my new best friend.  He was able to provide a version of software (.10) for a serial I already had.  I couldn't apply my serial as the only version I could find was .20.  Without giving too much away, many thanks.
