    emoveProtectionOperation removeProtectionOperation = RemoveProtectionOperation.CreateNew();
    FileRef sourceFileRef = FileRef.CreateFromLocalFile(@"test.docx");
    removeProtectionOperation.SetInput(sourceFileRef);removeProtectionOperation.SetPassword("password");FileRef result = removeProtectionOperation.Execute(executionContext);
