Microsoft Help Forums: How to unlock word documents - Microsoft Help Forums

I think this is what you are wanting. Really wonderful information. Try
it yourself :

To unprotect a Word document that has been locked, read on:

1) With the document open press F11 while holding down shift and alt
(Alt-Shift-F11). This should launch the script editor in Word;

2) Next select the find option (or hit ctl-f), and run a find for the
word "password." This should highlight something liket his"32943208";

3) Delete the letters and numbers between the tags (in the above example
this would be the 32943208);

4) Save the document in the script editor and close the window. You
should now be back in your Word document;

5) From the "Tools" pulldown menu, select "unprotect." Your document
should now be unprotected.

it that doesn't word, try a 3rd party utilities which is claim to unlock
password-protected word document like Word Password Recovery 5.0

hope to help you!
good luck!

I think in the year that has transpired since Tina posted the problem,
she has already solved it.
