How do I unlock a secure document?

Hi,
I opened a fillable form that has been marked as locked or secure with a padlock icon labeled on it. How can I unlock the document so I can edit it and fill out the form?

Hi Drumbrae,
What are you trying to unlock? If it is an object (such as a Table) click on it to select it.
The little x marks will show that it is locked. But because it is now selected, the Menu item Arrange > Unlock will work.
Regards,
Ian.

Usual problem is capitalisation.
Did you accidentally have the caps lock down?
Another one is the stupid autocorrection in OS X it can interfere with lots of things including CAPTCHA passwords in browsers.

Mail the Word document, and when you click the attachment in IOS 8 Mail, the Word document will open in Pages v2.4.2 (required for IOS 8). If password protected, you will receive a password challenge when you attempt to open the document.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

How do you unlock a pages document? nothing I see on the forums duplicates my situation.

how do you unlock a document in pages that doesn't say "locked" at the top of the page???

Thanks for answering me! You might not be reading my question correctly because I think I am confused. So now I have a couple questions. I have never used the the Document Inspector to lock a file so that is not the issue. It has not asked for a password either.
When you said a document will be locked after a period of time I have experienced that but usually it drops a box down asking if you want to unlock it. When you said, "as determined by my System Preferences" I dont' see anything in system preferences about documents.....what am I missing here?? I am using Lion 10.7.4. So I would like to know the answer to that. I am wondering if you meant it can be set to lock or not lock???
That said.....in the meantime I had done a duplicate and then made it a template just to see if I could accomplish what I was trying to do and that didn't work either. SOooooooo let me ask you this.....what I did was take a bunch of clip art off the internet and put it all on one document page in Pages. I named it "tropical clip art." When I open that document I can not drag and drop any of the clip art anywhere. Not to my desktop, not to another document etc. That is what made me think it was locked. The document name is at the top and it has "edit" greyed out next to the name. What the heck am I doing wrong? I am fairly new to Pages altho been an Apple user for awhile. I have always fuddled my way through using Pages. If I can not put the clip art on a document to save it all in one place, what is my other option? I was trying to avoid going back onto the internet repeatedly to get clip art I want to use over and over. It is free clip art. If I go to the internet I can drag and drop it anywhere.
When I try to drag and drop it off the Pages document it disappears and I have to go to "undo typing" under edit to get it back. Am I making any sense??
And this is my very first time on these forums too so that took me a bit to figure out.
Thanks so much!!!!!

I Am trying to pay a bill using adobe reader. I understand how to open a document from my emails with the app, but once I open the document in Adobe reader it is still secured and will not let me enter in my account info to pay the bill. How can this be fix?

How do I add text to a secured document?

In my business I use a lot of e-signatures. When I get an e-signed document (they are secure), I need to add my clients responses to the document, then get my clients e-signatures and then send it back to the other party. How can add my comments to a secured document? I keep getting a pop window saying the document is secure and cannot be edited.
Thanks for any help,
Brian

You can't - signatures prevent changes for a reason.
