[SOLVED] Word document password no good

valmad · 09-19-2007, 07:54 PM

I have a really old file which I never through out just in case someday I find the way to reopen it. It was written in Word '95. It's an old movie I was trying to put together but the thing is I went through so many passwords from there on (bank, email, work, etc.)

Anyway, if there's a will there's a way, and I won't erase it anyway... but if I'm able to open it would be soooo funny...

Can you please advise if it's possible or not? I wouldn't mind losing all the format...

If not...

THANKS!

Is this document password-protected? What's your current version of MS Word?

Yes it is password protected. My current Office version is 2003.

There is a Russian program that is used for this purpose (one has to buy it), but unfortunately we cannot help in TSF in this aspect - sorry. From our Rules:
