I have forgotten password of my MS WORD FILE(.doc). plz help me how can I recover/break the password. Is there any free sofware available on the net for this purpose? i am very much worried,plz help me. thanks BASIT

I know of no way to recover the password... I have use various password crackers for various things in the past, and they do work... I did some research, and I can't even find out where Word passwords are kept, but it does NOT appear to be in the SAM database... Here are 2 suggestions... Google for the phrase...ms word password...you will find a number of commercial programs, usually around $20-30 each...one of them will probably do it... Trial versions usually show the first 2-3 characters of a password, just to show you that they can work...perhaps if you downloaded a trail version and it shows you the first 2-3 characters that might "jiggle" your memory enough... Also, you might try a prog called Cain & Able...google for it, it's free, but I don;t know if it will find a Word pw... Good luck Steve
