Microsoft Word is regarded as the default choice for people who intend to write and create documents. The 2010 version of Word provides users with advanced features such as password protection to restrict unauthorised access to their documents. Sometimes users may want to remove the password from the document. To do this they have to open the document using the password and then access the file menu. The user has to remove all the data in the password field and save the document. Once the document is saved, the user should not have any problems in accessing the document without any password.
