There are tools that can recover Word passwords, but ...

You can find tons of programs and online software on the Internet that promise to restore password-protected Word documents. In the vast majority of cases, however, you will have to pay for this service. However, there is no guarantee that such tools can really recover your password. Sometimes you have to wait several days just to be notified of a failure. So be careful when using third-party software, as the chance of success is not too high - especially if you have chosen a rather complicated password. Most third-party software gives you the option to provide some hints about the password, such as the length, the first letter or special characters used, if you only remember parts of the password. In this case, however, you could also try to remember the password yourself by guessing different combinations.

Save your passwords in a password manager

To prevent you from forgetting passwords for important documents, save them in a password manager . This is a safe place for all of your passwords. Before using it, you set a master password with which you can open the manager and view your passwords. So you only need to remember one password, but you can still access all of your other passwords. If you want to learn more about password managers, read our article on it..
