Default Forgot your password? Try This!!

Just thought I'd pass a great tip on for those who have protected a Word file
and can't remember their password.

- Open a Blank Word Document
- Insert
- Click on the Word File
- Insert
- File
- Save As
- Name it something different
- Open it up again
- There you have it - UNPROTECTED

It won't work with any document protected against opening. For that you'll
need the password.
