    You have to use a program like this one:

    or http://www.passwordrecoverytools.com/download.asp

    Since encryption has stepped up in MS Office since the 2000 version, there's no other way then to "brute force" guess the password. So depending on the length of your password, it might take hours or days before you can recover it. Programs in general range between $30 and $80. If extremely short, some demo programs crack it for free (number of characters within demo working parameters, usually 3 or 4 characters).
