Why should I cancel Word file read-only password?
when receiving a large number of Word files with read-only passwords, we need to delete the read-only passwords in the Word files for the convenience of sharing or editing the documents again. For example, dozens of password-protected files are sent at the same time. After reading them, you want to modify several places but cannot edit them. Or you have set read-only passwords before, but now you need to cancel the protection of these read-only passwords. Although it can be canceled, when there are many files, you have to re-enter the password to cancel each time you open the file. If you forget the password, it is even more troublesome. When we need to send files to others, upload or put them into other documents for reference, removing the read-only password allows others to view and modify them directly, greatly improving the efficiency of collaborative work.
