How to unlock the report PDF of an ex-employee?

[techpamx]

I’m a manager, and one of our former employees left behind several important password-protected PDF reports. Unfortunately, no one knows the password, and I urgently need access to review the documents for ongoing business tasks. I’m looking for a safe and reliable way to unlock the report PDF without affecting its content or formatting. After trying a few options, I used SysTools PDF Unlocker, and it successfully removed the password restrictions, allowing me to access the reports without any issues. Has anyone else used this tool or found another reliable solution? I’d love to hear about your experience and recommendations.
