Remove PowerPoint Password

 

• Step 1: You need to change the PPT file extension to ‘.zip’ and click ‘Yes’ to proceed.

• Step 2: After that, open the said file with WinRAR or WinZip.

  

• Step 3: After the file is opened, the contents will be visible. Locate the ‘presentation.xml’ file.

  
• Step 4: Then, create a copy of the said file and paste it on the desktop.

• Step 5: Then, open the file with Notepad and press ‘Ctrl + F’ to open a dialog box. Type the word ‘modify’ there and click ‘Find Next’.

  
• Step 6: Delete the ‘<p:modifyVerifier……/>’ file, then save and close it.
• Step 7: Again, copy the ‘presentation.xml’ file back into the ZIP folder and change the extension back to ‘.pptx’.

As you can see, the steps are a bit elaborate. But this method successfully removed the password protection from the file.
