How to unlock PowerPoint file password

MS PowerPoint files (*. ppt and *. pptx) can be protected with two types of passwords: the password to open the document and the password to make changes. These are two fundamentally different types of file protection. Below, we will provide a detailed explanation on how to remove passwords from PowerPoint files for each situation.

1. How to delete the password for opening PowerPoint files (if lost)

Losing the password to open a file is the most common reason, unfortunately, it is also the most difficult reason. In fact, all password protected PowerPoint files have been securely encrypted using powerful algorithms. This means that it is impossible to crack the file and remove password protection from it. The only way to open such documents is to enter the correct password. When you enter your password, MS Office generates a private key and uses it to decrypt the entire document. Only by entering the correct password can the document be decrypted, that's all.
