Microsoft Word remove password from protected form by Chris Menard
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- Many people create forms in Microsoft Word and use passwords. The problem is when you need to edit the form and you have forgotten the password. To remove the password from a Word form, just make the Word document a Rich Text Format (rtf) file. Open in notepad, Look for the word password (Ctrl F) and remove it. Close the rtf file. Open in Word again and save as Word file. Password will be gone.
This short video shows you how to remove the password from a Word protected form.

Glad to help and save a career.
I forgot the password that I created and was dreading the idea of having to recreate this tedious form especially since it is time sensitive. This was a life saver. Thank you!!
You are welcome.
THANK YOU!!! Had to modify a document and this saved me tons of time by not having to recreate the entire form!
Recreating a form stinks. I'm happy this worked for you.
it is very clear and helpful, it worked, I managed to open a protected file that I have forgotten the password, Thank you
Welcome 👍
@@ChrisMenardTraining i need more explanation
So many useless advices on the internet that I started this video skeptically but my God, this was genius advice!!!!!! Thanks a lot Chris!
LOL...Thanks Muqsit. I'm glad it worked. I agree with you btw.
Wow. Pure genius. I checked other videos and they want you to buy a software to remove the protection password. Great video. Subscribed!!
Thank you!
Unbelievable!!! Thank you so much for your easy to understand instructions. I got into my Word template and was able to save it with a new password.
You are so welcome!
Good morning Chris. You have just helped me to unlock my assignment papers that I have to submit to my university. For some reasons, I am not able to unlock my doc even though the password is correct. Thank you so much Chris!! I'm so happy:)
Thank you! I did have an issue opening the RTF file on a mac. So instead of pulling my hair out, I used my PC laptop to take care of it.
Thanks, Jackie.
Thanks man. You just saved my sister hours of work.
Thank you.
Thank you and appreciate the wonderful explanation you made
You are very welcome
I don't comments man, but that's amazing & easy man
Thank you!
I have to fill out some state forms and needed to put in picture signatures but it was password protected. Very cool. Thank you! I really appreciate this!
Glad to help.
Thank you brother. Still works like a charm.
This is only going to work on editing restrictions, not on password protected word documents, which you can't even open without a password.
You are correct. There is nothing that will open a password protected MS Office with a password.
@@ChrisMenardTraining is there any information to open password protected word document?????
Very helpful!
Thank you.
You are a bloody genius, thanks so much!!!! :D
I'm not sure about that, but I'm glad it worked. :-) Thanks, hypeAF.
Thank you sir, you remain the best
Works like charm

Wow, Chris, this was great. The way you have explained is so simple and straight. Loved it. Lucky that I came across your video while searching for a way to disable the password option for any important document that I was working on. You were God sent. Thank you so much, Chris, and God bless you.
You are welcome.

Swedish Institute blocked the word doc. for some reason, ,so my professor could not remove unnecessary information with instructions on how to fill the reference. Why did they do that.

2021 huge help
Thank you!
thanks sir
Most welcome
I'm having all kinds of issues. First, when I click on Developer I don't see anything that says Stop Protection. I assume this is due to a different version of Word? I was hoping to see it so I'll know I'm on the right track. Anyway, so I'll save it as *rtf but then I can't find it after I open my Notepad. Oh well.
I use Word for Microsoft 365. I'm on a PC.
thank you. this help me a lot.
Glad to help.
Brilliant!!
Thank you Charlie
It only works for editing restricted only. I lost password. I saved the documents in word. When I try to save it to rich text format. It asked me password. The save us is inactive.
Thanks so much
Glad to help.
I have an old Word document with a "doc" extension that is password protected, and I have forgotten the password. Is there something similar to this I can do to be able to open that document? Thanks.
Some third party apps claim they can do this, but I don't think it is possible. If you do decide to try one, make sure it is free and safe.
@@ChrisMenardTraining Thank you!
Thank You !! You're a genius
LOL. I don't know about that, but I appreciate the feedback.
Hi, Came across your video. It talks about word documents that you can open but due to loss of password can't edit. I have forgotten my password and can't open any part of the document. Is there an alternative way to get access to my word document? There is no way I can rewrite this document. Please advise. Thanks in advance
I have a document that is password protected and I've tried this, but it doesn't find 'password' and I've tried 'protect' as well. I know the password so have tried to remove it via the password box, but there is nothing in the password box. What do I do!!??
It ask's for the password a soon as I open the file hence I can not save it as .rtf file. I m using word 2010. Please Help !!!
That is a different password. You can't break the password to Open file.
Hi Chris i'm trying to open a password protected word file and it wont even open without a password. I'm unable to follow your steps. What can I do to open the file.
you can't open a Word file that has a password to open. It only works with a password on a form.
Can you do video that shows when the document is closed and its ask for the password please?
I can't since I do not have the software to handle that. I'm not sure if any third party software would break the password to open.
I forgot my password so I cannot open the Doc. to "save as". Is there another process?
This will not work on Word doc that are password protected for opening. It only works on the forms.
Chris, is there any New methods to open password protected? Please
great if you can open in read only mode. Doesn't work for encrypted/password protected to open the file.
If you can open it, just copy and paste into another blank document and save without protection
You can't copy and paste a password form in Word.
Tried your procedure. Ctrl-F cannot find any "password" ... ????
Not hopefully 1000% work thanks you solved my problem 😉 ❤💟
Happy to help
@@ChrisMenardTraining accept plz❤ we people very peaceful
Can i recover password for track changes?
😢 Searched for 'password' in the notepad. It says not found
Hi there, it did get rid of the password but it also got rid of all the macros such as all my plain and rich text content controls...can we not do one and not the other?
There's another approach. Open the file (docx) with archive manager (e.g. WinRar), edit file 'word/settings.xml' and just remove '
how to remove password from protected if I use Macbook?plz teach me 😞 so annoying
