    Post Word Document PWs

    Hey everyone. I know this is a sensative issue, but I need some help. My uncle commited suicide on Sunday, April 15. Anyway, there are a couple documents dated for that day that are PW protected. Is there anyway to disable the PW?? Any help is greatly appreciated

    There are tools to get the password. Hopefully someone can post a link for you. If not, I can do some digging and get back to you.

    I can probably help you out. Email at least one of the files (they probably all have the same Pass) to me at [email protected] and I will see what I can do. I will send the password back to you if I can recover it. I will also not look at what is in the file if you dont want me to...

    Thumbs up

    Its a good product, I've used it before. Its also faster than most. Depending on the strength of the password, it could take days or weeks to find it. I would recommend using a dictionary before attempting a brute force.
