good evening tonight I'm going to show
you how to unlock a locked Microsoft
Word file I have a report here that I
created quite a while back and I have no
idea what the password is as you can see
here I enter information and it asked me
for a password and I have no idea what
the password is so I have to unlock this
file the first thing I'm going to do is
rename it I'll change it into a zip file
next I have to create a blank Word
document that has no password protection
I'll save that to the desktop
all right here's the file that we just
created that has no password protection
I'll right-click on that rename and turn
that also into a zip file now with the
file that we just created with no
password protection I'm going to right
click on that and extract all and I'll
just extract the here to the desktop now
I'll double click on that file now go
into the word file and I'm gonna right
click on settings and copy now we can
close out of here let's go back into our
locked word file go into word I'm just
gonna click once on settings and delete
that now I'm going to right click and
paste the file that we just copied the
settings file from the unlocked Word
document that we created I'm going to
close out of this now I'm going to
change the name of our report that was
locked back into a Word document double
click on that and if everything went as
expected the password protection will be
off of it and it is now I can use this
file once again if you've found this
tutorial beneficial please like and
