    Frequently asked questions

    Can this recover a forgotten password?
    The tool is not a password-recovery guarantee. Provide the password requested by the workflow.
    May I unlock someone else's document?
    Only process documents you are authorized to access and modify.
    Does unlocking edit the document pages?
    Removing password protection is separate from editing page content. Review the output after processing.
    Where does Unlock PDF process my file?
    Unlock PDF uploads the input to the server for processing. Conversion results are stored for re-download until deleted; the memory cleanup timer does not delete stored results. See the Privacy Policy for current retention details.
