Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

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
