About Document Unlocker
A password on a document is helpful until it becomes a daily nuisance. If you already know the password but you're tired of typing it every time you open your own file, removing the protection makes sense. This tool strips password protection from a DOCX so you can work with it freely again.
Upload your protected .docx, provide the password, and download an unlocked version. The process runs entirely in your browser on ToolHub by Codaiman, so there's no signup, no install, and no watermark, and your file never leaves your control. The tool is free, and it gives you a document you can open and edit without the constant password prompt getting in your way.
Common uses
- Removing a password from a document you own to stop repeated prompts

FAQ
Do I need the current password?
Yes. You must provide the existing password to unlock the document. This tool removes protection from files you can already open.
Can it unlock a document I don't know the password for?
No. It's intended for removing protection from your own files where you know the password, not for bypassing security.
Is the unlocked file fully editable?
Yes. Once unlocked, you get a standard .docx with no password, ready to open and edit normally.
Can I use Document Unlocker on mobile?
Yes — ToolHub is fully responsive and works on iPhone, Android, tablets and all modern browsers. No app install needed.
