I would never hack past a password, but this is different.

Let's say I create a document in Word & password protect it.  Then I go home, where, having gotten sufficiently fed up with Microsoft to uninstall Word in favor of AbiWord, StarOffice, or you-name-it, I want to work on my document.  This is MY document.  I made it, it's mine, I know the password, I have the moral right to open it & change it.  How can I do this if I don't have a copy of Word installed?

Laukev7:
If you can't unlock it when requested by your word processor, chances are you can't. The latter would not surprise me, considering Microsoft's proprietary formats. And I do not see the point of cracking the password, when you will have to relock it with a protection unlikely to be unlockable by MS Word.

wow. i just tried it. i made a Word doc on my mac, then opened Openoffice, and i couldnt open the word doc. that sucks.

Stryker:
Use a friend's computer? unlock it and disable the password. and bring it back home. A little troublesome but that's your punishment for using microsoft i guess.

TheQuirk:
Oh, come on. There are many tools that can do it. Just search google!

Anyway, I have had a pretty good experience with the programs offered on http://www.lostpassword.com/.
