A client has sent me a Project that he erroneously has put a password on . the client is not contactable at the moment but I need to work on his schedule . Short of re-inputting the whole schedule is there a way round this ?
I don’t want to have to wait until my client is available to advise the password.

    Try this - open the project read only.
    Then go to Save As. On the Save As window go to Tools - General Options. Remove the Protection Password and/or Write Reservation Password by deleting the asterisks from the available field.
    Now you should have a copy you can edit and save without a password being needed when you reopen it.
    Good Luck,
    Brent

    Sorry just noticed this was probably three months too late.
