How to open hidden & locked file?

Hello,
Good Morning,

I was about to click the print option for my Microsoft Word File but I clicked the exactly below option which was "Hide and Lock with Hide Folders 2009" which was my unfortunate mistake. I am using Win 7.

I want to recover the word document it contains important information.

I tried some options stated by all of you, but was unsuccessful in my attempts. I want to know how do i recover the file.

I thought of converting it into a rar. file but now I am not even able to find the file in my folder.

Please help me with this guys. I need to solve this matter urgently.

Thanks & Regards,
