password recovery for word 2003

Sniipe · 2009-10-01 22:52:59

I have recently found a file that I own. Its a word 97-2003 document and I would like to unlock it. Is there any way I can do it that people know will work.

There is tools out there alright that can do it but unless its a dictionary word it's going to take a long time.

Luckily i remembered it. I was entering the password with one letter out of case sensitive.

The password was something like this:
1369nopass

and I was trying this:1369Nopass

I wonder how long it would take a brute force unlocker on a standard quad core to unlock... 1 month or longer?
