hi guys and welcome to another video
have you ever come across a word
document that you cannot edit in today's
video i'm going to teach you how to
remove editing restrictions on word
documents so you can start editing again
go to the link in the description to
unlock the document i'm using in this
video or you can unlock your own
you can't edit this document it is
protected and you can't edit it
without the correct password it won't
work
you can't even copy it
it says you can't make this change
because the selection is locked
to fix this
click file
save
as and change the format to rtf rich
text format
click save
then open notepad
click on file
open
and change text documents to all files
and then click on the rtf format
document
ctrl f and type in password
then close and scroll down to the
highlighted word
it says here password dash if it doesn't
say that try again
and then go to the first curly bracket
in front of password hash and go to the
next line
to the second last curly bracket then
delete it
click on save
and change the name so it's a bit
different to the original
change
save as type to all files
click save
open file explorer
and open the second rtf file
then go to restrict editing and click
stop protection
but this time it didn't ask for the
password
and now you can edit this document
go to file click on save as
change the format to word document
format
click on save
now the document is fully unprotected
and you can start editing
