Forgotton pass word--Duh!
"Meebers" <JustMe[ at ]Idontknow.com> 12/10/2008 7:00:10 PM
Word 2007, daughter at work has not used this document for about 2 months,
somehow cannot remember the PW. We have been trying all known PW's etc for
the last week, still not luck. Googled for same, found some programs that
will find the PW if its not longer than 3 characters, program said they
found the PW > 3 characters, but want $$, still not a guaranteed a result.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Nope, sorry!

You have done everything that is possible.

If you cannot remember, you will have to recreate the document, and, if that
is the case, I trust you will remember to write it down somewhere safe!

Torture may work! Would you feel safe giving your payment details to someone
who cracks passwords as a living! Passwords can be cracked, but it depends
on the complexity and length of the password. If you use a 16 or more
digital password comprising random letters, numbers and symbols, it would
take years to crack without access to a powerful computer network.
