Today I get a call from one of my genius employees. Saying "Why is word
asking me for a password on my document?" Well to keep from rambling on,
this moron set a password on his document he's been writing since early July
and now can't open it. (stupid) Anyway I thought I had a password cracker
for word at home but can't find it.

So can any of you assist me with this?

Any more info i.e which Version of word your using.
If its an early version (pre word97) then you can crack it fairly easily
- also is it the password when you open the doc or is it a write
protected one?
FYI

If you have protected a Word 95 file with a write reservation password,
open the document in WordPad or NotePad. You can then save the document
with no problem. ( With a document password in place, WordPad and
NotePad still can't open it).If you send a Word 6 or Word 95
password-protected document as an e-mail attachment from within Word
(using the Send command from the File menu), the password protection is
stripped off the attached file. This means that you could send a file to
yourself, and it should again be readable. This problem was fixed in
Word 97. (This problem does not exist if you send the document file as
an attachment from within your normal e-mail client. )

If its a later version only suggestion is searching for Hack sites on
the web, although there are a lot of commercial programs out there which
will help you do this (Fairly Cheap as well).
More info and I will try to have a look into it.

Contact CRAK Software http://www.crak.com.

They have password recovery software for most Office products. They are the
only service I know of that has guaranteed recovery of Word and Excel files by
Key search rather than password search (there are billions of billions more
passwords than there are keys so a key search takes a lot less time) and have
the computer power (a massively parallel computer array) to pull it off in a
reasonable time

Your employee may not be as stupid as he/she first appears. We have been
hearing a lot of stories about Word and Access documents that have suddenly
demanded passwords. These customers have insisted that they did not apply
password.

I think there could be a virus at play here.

We have also had customers who have had corrupted Access Database files that
have suddenly demanded passwords, with the customer also insisting that no
password was applied. In this case the culprit may be that a user has turned
off the computer with a pending file commit. If you have unsophisticated
computer users, they should be made aware that files may be corrupted under
these circumstances.
