Unprotect Word Document
Remove editing restrictions or read-only write protection from a .docx, without needing the original password.
This removes OOXML editing restrictions (w:documentProtection) and recommended read-only flags (w:writeProtection). It does not crack an open-file password, and it does not recover a document whose contents were encrypted. The result is validated as a package before download.
