password protected documents

Hi am I right in thinking that you cannot ever open a document in word if you have set a password and then forgotten it? thanks

Possible free solutions:

The main program here is also a freebie but, if that doesn't work (because you've used a complex password), you're also offered Decryptum, for $29, which bypasses the password altogether:

Some of the above should work.

The Office suite is famous for having poor security, so getting past any password is possible.

Thanks both - I didn't think it was possible!
