Default I forgot the password I used for a Word Document.

Is there a way to retrieve a password used in a MS Word document?


If you mean a password needed to open or edit the document, the answer is
"probably not". If it's a password for forms protection, that can be removed
easily.

See http://www.gmayor.com/Remove_Password.htm.
