A practical example

For your own protected document, enter its known password and create an unprotected copy for an application that cannot read encrypted PDFs. Confirm the content and decide where the new copy will be stored; it no longer requires that opening password.

Can this recover a forgotten password?

No. It requires the correct password you already know and does not guess, crack or bypass unknown credentials.
