How to open document when user password forgotten?

[MCKuester]

Hello,

  I have a tax document that I user password protected.  DOH!  I forgot the password....  Is there a way to print or view the document, workaround?  Does Adobe provide a service?

Martin, what Adobe software or service is your question in relation too?

[John T Smith · Accepted solution]

As far as I know, Adobe does not have any program that will break the protection on any document

Adobe Reader to view/print the document

[Bernd Alheit]

How does you protect the file with Acrobat Reader?

How do I change the password

I do not necessarily need to open the document but if I could just print it out and manually fill in the information that would suffice.

Once a password is set all Adobe software respects it. Adobe did not provide any "master key" to let you (or someone who got hold of your documents) unlock it anyway.
