l0rd - 17/10/10 at 10:32 PM

I have a word password protected file. It was protected on Word XP.

Now i am using word 2007 and for some reason the password doesn't work.

Any free software recomendation?

I believe the password was 20 characters long

or get someone with word xp to remove the password. if the document isn't to sensitive.

elcomsoft is the best.

if your using a long password though. wouldnt bother.

i tried to help someone out a few months ago and i had 4 pc's running the test.

upto 8 letters/numbers and characters and found nothing.

they must have had a huge payment.

That is why it was password protected. Tooooo sensitive to me.

Oh welll

Need to re-instal word XP i guess.

Anyone else had such compatibility issues?

If you go on the Microsoft site I think you can download a compatibility pack?
