About this tool
Use it to stop typing the password every time, or to lift print/copy restrictions. This does not crack passwords; you must know the password that opens the file.
Frequently asked questions
What if I do not know the password?
Then it cannot be opened. This is not a password cracker; it only unlocks with a password you know.
What about files that only block printing or copying?
Those restrictions can be lifted without a password. Do this only for files you own or have permission to change.
