It appears that cracking the password from a word document has to be
done through brute force [1]. No quick fix here.
If you are determined to go the route of trying to crack the password by
brute force, here are some programs I have seen others suggest that may
work:
* WordLocksmith (www.intertek.org.uk/downloads/word.html, $7)
* Word Password (www.lastbit.com/word/default. asp, $39)
* Advanced Office Password Recovery (pr.openwall.net/microsoft-word, $49)
