Office 2010 "word" document recovery

[prds359]

I created a document using ms office 2010 & locked it by a password. For some technical issue offc 2010 isn't working anymore & i'm also unable to reinstall it (even formated the whole os), tried every possible way but failed. The document has important passwords saved in it. Can anyone pls guide me how to recover the infos in the document?

I guess its not possible but not sure.

Man. If it's the software which is not opening, rather than the document being corrupted, you will need office 2010 to open it.
Try opening it on someone else's PC. Also try on Ms word 2007. Chance is there.

Oh sorry I didn't read it properly.
Try to open that file on some other PC with 2010.
If it is a 2010 format file 2007 won't be able to open it.

You lost pass or want 2010 file to work in other versions (2007 or 2003) ?

@OP: if you know the password then try to convert your document (i.e in Docx or doc format) into .pdf format.

Thanks to all for replying. And I opened the file on my friend's pc (thanx a lot 4 this "possible" idea). I'll also try to convert it into pdf and try if it works for further security options.
