I password protected a Word document that contains
sensitive material. However, I have not had need to
access that particular file for several months and now
cannot remember the password. Is there anyway to obtain
it, override it, or something? I need the information in
this file ASAP and am at a loss without it.
 
No, there really isn't. There are services available that will attempt to
crack it. Success for that depends on the version of Word you are using and
what your password is. Even if successful, though, you are probably looking
at a minimum of days for a turn-around time (maximum months to never).
