Question

How can I open a Microsoft Word file without a password?

Denis Gladysh

Community Answer

If it's Word 97-2003, you can decrypt the file without the password online. If it's a Word 2007-2016, you must employ password searching/password recovery. Use a dictionary attack and a position mask to reduce the range of searching.

How do I "un-brick" a tablet?

You will need to flash the official firmware via a PC. For Samsung tablets, use Odin.

Question

The John Ripper software is not working for me. I'm getting a message that says "The system cannot find the file specified" after doing steps 7, 8 and 9. What should I do?

Community Answer

You need to make sure the files are in the "run" directory. If they are not, the error message appears. Also, make sure you are in the John directory in command prompt.

Go to the official website and you won't get a virus. If the website URL is 'openwall', then you are on the correct website.

Command Prompt doesn't recognize "cd desktop". I've tried putting it in other places too but it still doesn't work. What do I do?

You have to use the command "cd C:\Users\User_Name\Desktop" and same for other locations too. You can go the file explorer and copy the path from the bar on the top.
