Is this the file itself or a link to a file?

 

If its the file itself then you need to ask whoever makes the program that the file is in for help. Dropbox cannot assist I'm afraid.

You've not answered the question though.... 

 

If the password you cannot remember is the Word document password (i.e. you can download it and open it and it asks for a password) then no, nobody here can help.

 

If its a password link (i.e you click on the link and it wants a password before it opens up) then people may be able to help.
