Can someone help me unlock a writer file that I have forgotten the password to, locked using the save as option using Acer 1760 with Win 23H2. If you need to be sent it for unlocking I can email, Not too private but my family history that is not quite finished, I promised it for Christmas and still editing required, getting a bit nervous of the deadline. The first paragraph has my full name so you will not find it unlike my email address. Any Help Please
You are the only person with a chance to open the file; you knew the password once. Maybe this article can help, How to Remember a Forgotten Password: 13 Steps (with Pictures)

For the future, you might want to consider using a password manager.
What does “locked” mean? Is it password-protected for opening? Or for editing? Or is it just read-only? What do you see trying to open/edit it?
