I have used a password in MS Word 2003 in saving of document, but I have lost my password to open the word document . Can you plase help me how to open the locked document?

You can open it, but it's read only, right?

If so, you may be able to import the document into another document and get the text editable again. Maybe not.

Meanwhile, if you actually cannot open the document at all, and since it is against Microsoft's own policies to offer assistance in breaking the password protection on any of it's programs or documents created therein, we would have to follow suit. I'm sorry we won't be able to help you.

Did you get any answer for your query?

A) Open document > Select edit menu > choose select all > then choose copy from edit menu.
Open new document > edit menu> paste.
Select tools menu> choose options> window opens with options. Select form different tabs the edit tab> make sure that al desired boxes are selected.
Select save tab>choose and mark box>ask about properties
Accept or Apply options and close.
Save new document different name. When saving it should ask if you want to save properties> choose not save. Maybe it asks if you want to modify properties> choose yes> select box archive amongst read only, hidden or archive.
If this does not work.

B)There are many 3rd party utilities which claim to recover forgotten word password:
The program that I recommend is the Word Password Recovery 5.0 It recovers/removes the "Password

to Open" and "Password to Edit" for you to view and edit the document freely.
