Getting around document passwords...

I have a user who is no longer employed with our company and he password protected several important documents. Any advice on how to get past them? This is very important.

Thank you,

I assume that the ex-employee was not forthcoming with the passwords. There are several sites on the internet that provide this service. Just search for Word or Excel Passwords. I am not sure how much they cost, but the technology is out there.

Here is one link that came up in my search of "Word Password"
 
Your suggestion did the trick. The demo version will crack passwords 3 characters or less and that just happened to be the case. You were a big help! Thank you,
Sharon Odneal
