Password Remover For Microsoft Word Document For Mac

Microsoft Word's password-protect functionality is designed to prevent edits and modification to templates and other important documents. However, it can be a real pain if you need to edit or change a document and either don't have the password or have forgotten it. Word's password protection isn't very secure, however, and is easily broken with a quick shift in format.

If someone sends you a password-protected Word document, chances are good there's a reason for the lock. Sometimes businesses use them to protect core templates and sometimes they're in place to ensure marketing materials aren't edited before they go live. If you think you should have access to a document but do not, speak with your supervisor or the document creator to find out why.

Thank you for your answer, sorry, I'm not familiar with the command line, I googled some blogs and they also recommend using the command line to crack Excel passwords, I don't dare to use it, and I'm afraid of damaging my files and permanently losing my important data.

@Kranyak This is normal. Most of users are not comfortable with text commands. GUI software are more welcomed. Fortunately, there are dozens of excel password recovery software/service you could find from Google. I am sure there is a right one for you.
