Many people find this step confusing because when you head to the part of Word where you can enter the password, there is no option that says “Remove the password.” We will help you figure this out. Follow the steps below:
- Open a Word file that is protected with a password
- Next, click on File in the top-left corner of the screen
- Click on Protect Document
- Next, click on Encrypt with password

- Once you are done, click OK.
The password has now been removed. There’s no one option that allows you to remove the password; you need to manually clear the password and click OK. The document is no longer protected. Simple, right?
