Lost Password

[Gregory Truby <le...@hotmail.co.uk>]

Hello,

I have recently made a document and locked it with a password. And now the password I saved it with isn’t working.

I am wondering how I can delete the password or bypass it? Or even reset it?

Please help

Kind Regards,

Gregory Truby

Gregory,

Have you tried "Caps Lock"? Maybe it was set or is set now and so the 
password capitalization is not matching. That has happened to me in the 
past.

Other than trying such things, you are hosed. From what I read, there is 
no practical way to recover such a document.

HTH.

I wouldn't give up quite yet someone; showed me a backdoor to get into my
iMac when something similar happened, but sorry to say you are going to
need one hell of a hotshot in the field-if it can be done.
I wish I could give you better news, or help you personally, but my PhD is
in organic chemistry.
Best wishes

Your best chance of recovering the document, is to:
* Wwrite down what you think the password is;
* Construct variants of that, using the normal password variation patterns;
* Try each of those variant patterns, until you find the correct password;
