Word Password Protection

K

Ken Newberger

Years ago, I put password protection on all the files in a given folder.
Now, more than 5 years later, I can't remember the exact password. I need to
"break in" to my own files on my own computer. Is that doable and if so,
how? (I am using Microsoft WORD 2002).

Thanks.

The documents are encrypted, there is no 'back door'. There are applications
that will break the password - eventually - if you feel inclined to giove
your credit card details to someone who cracks passwords for a living. See
