I password protected a word document a few years ago, and forgot the
password. Is there anyway to find out out my password is?
Thanks

There are password crackers that can be downloaded as
shareware. However, just how "strong" is the password.
That is, the longer and more complex it is, then it will
take proportionally longer to crack it, geometrically.
OTOH, remembering some parts of the alphanumeric string
can shorten the interval. In closing, if you have just
plain forgotten the password, then forget it unless you
have access to a very, very fast supercomputer, such as
a Cray.
