Word 97 password

[Paul]

Does anyone know how to remove a password from Word 97?
One of our users has no idea, whatsoever, what password
they used to protect it from prying eyes.

Brute force guess work. There are some softwares out there that do this.
www.google.com and search for Word 97 password crack or cracking.

I've got one of these already, but as the person has no
idea on how long the password was either, it still has 38
days and counting to go. Wasn't sure if there was a
quicker way. If not I'll just persevere.

Thanks anyway

At least it's not a "secure" password system or you would be looking at
38 thousand years!

These guys can usually find the password in a matter of minutes -
they've never let us down... so far:

I hope it's legal!

It is legal. I'll give them a call to see how much they
charge.

Thanks for your help.
