Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove the password from a PDF? +

Upload the PDF, type its password and tap Unlock. Download the new PDF, it opens without any password.

What is the password of my e-Aadhaar PDF? +

The first 4 letters of your name in CAPITAL letters followed by your birth year. Example: name Prabha, born 1986, password PRAB1986.

Is the password the same for masked Aadhaar? +

Yes. The masked e-Aadhaar PDF from UIDAI uses the same format: first 4 letters of your name in CAPITALS and your birth year.

What is the password of the ITR-V or AIS PDF? +

Your PAN in small letters followed by your date of birth as DDMMYYYY. Example: abcde1234f01011990.

What is the password of the e-PAN PDF? +

Usually your date of birth as DDMMYYYY, like 24061980. Some versions use PAN in small letters plus date of birth. Pick e-PAN and the tool tries both.

I don't know my password. Can this tool crack it? +

No. It never guesses random passwords. It only builds the official password formats from your own name, date of birth and PAN, and tries those.

Is my Aadhaar or PAN uploaded anywhere? +

No. The PDF and your details stay inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored, which matters for ID documents.

Will unlocking change my PDF? +

No. Only the password is removed. Text, quality, pages and size stay the same.

Why do forms reject my password-protected PDF? +

Portals cannot open a locked file to check it, so they reject it. Upload the unlocked copy instead.

The PDF opens but I cannot print or copy from it. Can this help? +

Yes. Such PDFs only have a print or copy lock. The tool removes it without asking for any password.

Can I unlock many bank statements at once? +

Yes. Pick all the PDFs. If they share the same password, type it once and download all in one ZIP.

Is it legal to remove a PDF password? +

Yes, for your own documents when you know the password. Do not unlock files that belong to someone else.

Aadhaar PDF ka password kya hota hai? +

Naam ke pehle 4 akshar CAPITAL mein aur janam ka saal. Jaise PRAB1986. Yahan naam aur janam tithi daalo, tool khud password try karega.
