access an MS Word password protected doc
Hello all!
I was browsing some of my old cds this weekend and I found an MS Word doc (very old indeed since it is in windows). I tried to open it but it was protected by a passwod. Since there is no way to remember the password I was wondering is there any way to access this file from my fedora core 2 distro? thanx in advance axelmang |
open it with a HEX editor..............
|
ok I did (khexedit) and then what....?
|
you could try http://www.elcomsoft.com/aw2000pr.html
it has a free trial but it's a windows program. *disclaimer - i have never used this program so i don't know how good it is or if it does what it says it does (ie... if it's a virus, trojan, or any kind of malware). |
I already did that but it was not succesfull. Any other ideas (even in windows)
thanx again axelmang |

below is a screenshot of khexedit. the stuff you want to look at is on the right hand side. this document isn't password protected (none of my word docs are), but if word doesn't encrypt the whole document, you should be able to read the document. KHexedit screenshot |
I guess it does because my doc is not like yours. On the right I cannot see the content of the doc but characters in a random sequence. What next?

http://www.intertek.org.uk/downloads/word.html there's a demo version of WordLocksmith Demo. i don't know. delete the file? :D j/k... |
That's not really the answer you want, but you may try to do this:
Code:
strings /path/to/your/file.doc | less Yves. |
There is Ultimate-ZIP-Cracker , its suppose to restore lost ZIP, ARJ, Word (DOC), and Excel (XLS) password
http://www.download.com/Ultimate-ZIP...ml?tag=lst-4-1 and if it doesnt work search for others in www.download.com |
Did you try to open it with Open Office (Star Office from Sun)?
