Recover/Crack Lost Office Passwords
Reader Peter Croucher is in a jam: His MS Word documents are password-protected and he doesn't have the password.
"My computer crashed and when I restored it, my password wouldn't open Word documents. I put in every password I have ever used, but to no avail, so I haven't the foggiest idea what it is. Is there any way of recovering this password and replacing it please?"
The answer (a conditional "yes"), with links to some known-good recovery tools and sites) is the top item in my Windows Secrets column this week.
Other topics include options for laptops with no CD/DVD drive; tracking down downloads that disappear upon receipt(!), and an easy way to rename the choices that appear on your systems startup menu. (You can make them say anything!)
Access to these items is by a kind of honor-system principle: You decide what the content is worth, and whatever you decide to pay lets you in to *all* the paid-edition content (not just my columns) for a full year.
