Word Password Recovery

Hi, I worked on some assignment in my uni during my last semester and made it password protected so other students couldn’t see it and now i can’t seem to remember the password when i need to get some info out of it. It was done using word 2003 so i was wondering if there is(are) any prog through which i can retrieve my password? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can’t even think of doing that work all over again. Thanks

Answer #2
Here’s how you crack the password protected Microsoft Word file:
First, open the document and do a “Save As…” specifying Rich Text Format (RTF). It’ll end up being called something.rtf.
Now open the RTF file by double-clicking on it. It should look identical to the original Word file.
Final step: save the RTF file with a new name as a Microsoft Word format document. It worked for one of my friends.
Looks for some software that can do it.

how can you “Save aS” if you can’t open it since you can’t remember the password?
Answer #7
Your best bet is to use brute force or dictionary attack as there is no other way to recover if you dont remember it.
