Quick answer
Use the authorized password record or ask the document owner. Word does not provide a general recovery service for a forgotten document-opening password.
Understand the issue
First distinguish a password required to open the file from a restriction on editing an already open file. Confirm the correct document version and keyboard input before assuming the password is lost. Keep the encrypted original unchanged.
Step-by-step checks
- Check the authorized password manager or owner records.
- Verify capitalization and keyboard layout without exposing the password.
- Look for an accessible backup if no valid password is available.
