Need help recovering a deleted file

I deleted several documents on a removable ISB drive. Later I found I needed
these files and used a file recovery program to find the files. I had not
used the USB drive for anything else so the deleted files were found easily.
I was able to save them as MS Word documents, but when I open them they are
just jumbled characters. I've tried all the Word choices for decoding the
file and nothing works.
When I originally made these documents they were password protected. Could
that be why I can't read them now? Any suggestions on what I should do?
 
If they were password protected against opening before and are not now, it
seems that the recovery software could not handle the encryption properly
and the documents are now corrupt.
