Choose What Protection to Remove

Next up, you’ll need to pick the type of restriction you want to take off. This step depends on what kind of files you're dealing with.

Save Your New Files Where You Want

The following step lets you pick where you want your newly unprotected files saved. Whether it's in a new folder or overwriting the originals, it’s totally up to you! And hey, if you've got a bunch of files, don’t sweat it; this app supports batch processing!

Compatibility Notes

A couple of things to keep in mind: this tool doesn’t work with older versions of Microsoft Office like XP or 2003. According to the developer, it plays nicely with Word and Excel files from 2007 to 2016.

Limitations on Encrypted Files

You should also know that Lord Unprotector isn’t meant for encrypted files. It only works on documents that are protected against changes but aren’t locked down with a password for access.

A Great Option If You've Forgotten Your Password
