I've forgotten the password to a word .docx file I made 9 months ago, is there any chance I can get in without knowing it?
Brute forcing would be fine, since I don't think I would've used a long password for this, but I don't know how to automate that either. Any ideas?

You'll have to tinker a bit, probably write some script to bruteforce the password. Unless you expect your password to be a strong one. In that case I fear there is no way.
Tried to unzip it, but got an error saying that in order to unzip it I would have to add files to the archive first, so apparently the zip is empty? I... dont think its supposed to be empty
Rename the file extension from .docx to .zip, and then you'll be able to open the file as an executable.
