I don't see how that works either. Lets do it 1 step at a time 1) make file blah.doc, tools - options - security - password, save as blah.doc 2) right click, rename to blah.html
***Here is where I get lost*** 3)open it with word (it asks for password no good) open it with notepad or html editor (no good either) So my question is what do you open the file with or what do you do to the file to open it? I know there are a bunch of apps out there that will do pass cracking on zip, docs and other files but it sounded like there was something easy out there....please don't leave me hanging!! I must know!!
