I found a site that has an easy way to unprotect a Word document: http://www.instructables.com/id/Unprotect-MS-word-Doument./ The steps to follow are listed below.

Here are the basic steps: 1. Save the .doc as an .html file. 2. Open the .html in a text editor and search for "password" 3. Note the 8-character hexadecimal number. Example: A1B2C3D4 4. Open the .doc file in a hex editor. 5. Search for the hex number in reverse endian format. For example, D4C3B2A1 6. Change this to 00000000. 7. Open the .doc file in Word. The password should be blank, and it will unlock.
