I've told you before that your crystal ball is cleaner than mine. It
didn't actually mention 'password to modify' unless I am completely cracking
up, though I suspected from the description that it was likely, hence the
fuller reply.

I take it that it was a form?

What would be the point of a password that is easy to circumvent?
There are password crackers out there if you have the inclination
to send your credit card details to someone who cracks passwords
for a living, and have the time to wait while brute force methods
are used to obtain the password (which takes very much longer than
the four digit demonstration trials seem to suggest when the
password is longer and more complex).
If this is a protected form that you can open but not edit, then
insert that form file into a new blank document. This removes the
protection. The original will still be protected but the copy will
not.

Hi,

Is there any way to get round the protection if you have lost the
password. Have a document that I can not even type in to or do
anything with because it is over protected and I have lost the
password. Or do I have to start again from scratch.


Thanks in advance

Matt
