Hey guys


Nah, i'm not coming back, i'm still too busy, but i've got a small problem. And since i think the above-average computer-wizards can be found here in this forum.....

About a year ago i made a Worddocument on my computer back home. Since my brother is using that computer too and since it was a very personal document, i put a password on that document. In the past year i havent opened that document, but now i need it again....and ...guess what? I dont remember the password. Yeh, i know, pretty stupid and silly, but, hey! I've got an excuse! (didnt open it for a whole year)

Of course i tried some passwords, and i have an idea in what direction i have to look for it, but i didnt have any success this far.

Is there anyone who knows how to get rid of such Word-password? Without messing the document up of course. And please, dont use too much programming-terms, since i know SOMEthing of a computer(through self-study), but i'm not a professional programmer or whatsoever; i'm not familiar with the deepest thoughts of a computer.....


By the way, talking about passwords..., i had a thought the other day (yeh, that happens from time to time, i try not to worry about it, but sometimes my brains DO work, lol)
Isnt it intriguing how many things a person remembers? I mean, there's the code-number of your banc-card, the code-number of your tanking-card, the password of your computer, password of your email-account, your address (and a couple of other addresses: company, friends, ...), your telephone-number (and a couple of others....), ...

All things we know by heart and can use any second, we dont have to think about it anymore. We put the card in the reader, and type in the code just automatically ... Human mind is very intriguing....


Jom"yeh, i'm still doing fine here, and you?"meke
