How to unprotect/unlock Microsoft Word documents

admin

1) With the document open press Alt+Shift+F11. This should launch the VB script editor in Word;

2) Press Ctrl+f, and run a find for the word “password”. This should highlight something like this “<UnprotectPassword>32943208</w:UnprotectPassword>”;

3) Delete the letters and numbers between the tags (in the above example this would be the 32943208);

4) Save the document in the script editor and close the window. You should now be back in your Word document;

5) From the “Tools” pulldown menu, select “Unprotect.” Your document should now be unprotected.

Veeam Backup and Replication

admin

I like virtualization a lot. I have tried various diferent solutions. And for server enviroments I think Vmware is far ahead from the rest! Still when it comes to virtualization default definitions and practises changes a lot. One of them is backup.
When it comes to backing up my Virtual Machines I use Veeam Backup & Replication from a company called Veeam. Nice company, nice people and more over a very usefull tool! Although I do not like their licencing scheme… Thumbs up for Veeam
