Password is not stored that way - it is encrypted. It so happens that your password is same as your user name. I think what you are showing is username as in document properties.

i try open the Microsoft Office Word file {Open with Notepad} but it did not work at all.

so anyone can tell me some new. may be we can get the password with the help of COMMAND PROMPT.

so anybody know the commands do that.

you can not get password with the help of command prompt.there are softwares available which claim to crack office passwords by using brute force approach.you can try them but if password is too long,say,14 characters with special symbols,small capital combination then it will take a very very long time or in other words forever.
