Good evening tonight I'm going to show you how to unlock a locked Microsoft Word file I have a report here that I created quite a while back and I have no idea what the password is as you can see here I enter information and it asked me for a password and I have no idea what the password is so I have to unlock this file the first thing I'm going to do is rename it I'll change it into a zip file next I have to create a blank Word document that has no password protection I'll save that to the desktop all right here's the file that we just created that has no password protection I'll right-click on that rename and turn that also into a zip file now with the file that we just created with no password protection I'm going to right click on that and extract all and I'll just extract the here to the desktop now I'll double click on that file now go into the word file and I'm gonna right click on settings and copy now we can close out of here let's go back into our locked word file go into word I'm just gonna click once on settings and delete that now I'm going to right click and paste the file that we just copied the settings file from the unlocked Word document that we created I'm going to close out of this now I'm going to change the name of our report that was locked back into a Word document double click on that and if everything went as expected the password protection will be off of it and it is now I can use this file once again if you've found this tutorial beneficial please like...
