How to I unlock a password-protected file?

How do I unlock a file that I have saved without knowing the password?

Hi eks,

The only way to open (or edit) a password-protected file is by using the password. Did you save the file from a website or email? If so, you may be able to get the password from the person who created the file.

Best,

Sara
