  Hello:

  I see from my research online, it says cannot find in files Office 2007 password (in particular, Word and Excel 2007) protected in Windows 7.

  Is there a solution, a way to do this without removing the protection of password of all my files?

  Thank you.

  No there is no work around.  You can always search metadata, as if you have a file that I made which was protected, you can still find it by searching for author: shawn, but you would not be able to search inside of the file.
