How Can I Remove a Forgotten Password from a PDF File?

[Harrywilliam01]

I have an old PDF file that I protected with a password, but I’ve completely forgotten what it was. I need to access the file urgently for important information, but I can’t open it due to the password.

Is there any safe and effective PDF password remover tool or method that I can use to unlock the file without damaging it? I’d prefer a free or reasonably priced solution if possible.

Hi @dutton_3480, 

Thank you for reaching out. 
Sadly, if you have forgotten the password to the file, you cannot recover it using Acrobat: https://adobe.ly/4iLoMPF
