You'll need to use a repossession software such as EasyRecovery Professional. This will copy all files, even files that are password protected. Hope this help!
It depends on what file your trying to access. If it's a Word document after just delete it, here is no way to re-access the password for the record. They warn you several times earlier you password protect a Word document about the problem you may hold if you cannot remember the password.
