I need to convert .wpd to .docx BUT the files I need to convert are passworded. Can't convert because they are passworded, but can't remove the password until they are converted.

Chicken and the egg?? A real conundrum and could really use some help.

Thanks in advance.

Open them in Wordperfect and remove the password. Then save as .doc or .docx files.

But that's the main problem; I don't have Wordperfect. I have Microsoft Works and Microsoft Office. I can't convert the documents. When I try to open them in Word, I get the message "Cannot convert password protected documents."

And I can't open them to remove the password.

Ohh, I'll see if I can download Wordperfect.

Thanks

Note, you'll still need the password.

Thanks Charles. I found a Trial Download for Corel Wordperfect, opened with the password and then Save As and deleted the password.
Then I downloaded a free converter and converted them all to .docx. Everything is fine and I appreciate you heading me in the right direction.

Thank you!!!
