Got a request like that some two years ago, but with the caveat I got to include the rationale for every single part, or I may not get it approved. Managed to get an 8-core 12 GB machine with a NVidia Quadro 4000 and 1TB hard disk. And almost everything (except the graphics card) just based on recommendations right off the MS homepage! I might have added an additional SSD disk to the specs, but unfortunately MS didn't mention them anywhere

Hi People,
I have a Word Document 2010 and is password protected. I want to view the document but cannot view it.
I tried various steps to remove the password but was not successful.
Could anyone share me a tool or .bat file that will help me remove the Password.
Regards
Syed Ali

Is there a reason you can't approach the document owner and ask them for the password?

I am seriously getting tired of answers on the Internet questioning the approach instead of giving the answer.
However, if you had instead told the OP that this is the wrong place for software questions : )
And to answer with your question, every so often, in large corporate environments I do tend to find the mystical locked document that no one can edit and no one knows who originally created. So it is a legitimate question.
Oh, and since I never vote 1's and feel bad about it, you can vote down my how to make a geek happy post : )

Hell yes, me too. I often want to say, "I didn't ask for an elephanting consultation, I asked how to perform a task."

Yawn. Who died and made you the arbiter of all things IT? Besides, sometimes, questioning the approach is the right answer.

There was an answer in there - you just didn't bother with it - the answer is "approach the owner". If there is no one in an organisation who can answer this question, then there is a fundamental problem in that organisation, or with the people in the organisation. However, I will defend your right to vote me a 1 as I couldn't care less about the vote itself. So your geek post is safe from me.
(BTW - the alternative answer is hacking the document, and that's not something I'm comfortable recommending, so I'll stick with my original answer)

Not accurate now, is it? You can univote with a clean conscience now.

while I see your point, in this case it was a legitimate question in my opinion. What if he is trying to get access to a doc he is not allowed to have?
Just sayin .
Common sense is not a gift it's a curse. Those of us who have it have to deal with those that don't....
Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow.
You can't scare me, I have children.

Could be - could also just be that HE created the document a while ago and thought up the PERFECT password - which he - when it comes down to it - can even remember himself.
That has never happened to you? It has to me. Heck, I can't even remember what I did last week.

And not only the approach, also the intent. If I ask a question in a forum about something I need to know, I really don't care to get into a lengthy discussion about WHY I need to to do it and if it's really what I should do/want to do/etc... 
Some people should keep their eye on the ball. GOOD CALL, Ennis!
Apart from that, I agree with you: The right answer would have been: Try another forum!
