I locked a Word for Mac file with a password, and somehow did it wrong, because I can't open it. Word version 15.32, Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. Is there any way to bypass/reset or otherwise get this document open? It's for work, I'm the author, and normally the password is a simple one based on the file name. I've tried everything I can think of: reversing the caps, all caps, no caps, shifting my fingers one key to the left, to the right, row above, row below, adding a mistaken space in the middle -- nothing. It was a systematic mistake, since I obviously did it a second time for the repeat. I've seen programs to download, but they're all for PCs.
Suggestions greatly appreciated! Hi KW98584, The reason Rodney has recommended trying to open the file on a PC running Windows is because the encryption methods being used on the Mac are different than on a PC with Windows. At least they have been in the past, and I have not been informed if Microsoft has ever changed it. If you happened to last open the protected document on a PC with Windows, when you re-saved it, the encryption method would have changed. Making it impossible to reopen the document on a Mac, even when the password itself has not changed.

If you're trying to install software on your Mac the first thing you should do is simply contact your IT department. They can use login to your computer remotely and installed the software for you. You may not like having to wait for IT but it's not you're computer so you shouldn't install stuff on it. Also, you could.

All you have to do now is select the user account you want to reset, enter a new password or leave it blank and click Save. Then just simply restart the computer from the Apple menu and login with your new password. It's as easy as that.
No offense meant, but simply saying you are the author of the document, does not make it so. And in my opinion, the people and programs that claim they can break the encryption are dubious at best. So beware if you decide to pursue that path. Hope this helps ________________________________ Richard V.
