Pages Password

A person shared a Pages document with me, but I can't open it. It asks for a password. I have never had to open a Pages document with a password before. What is the problem?

There is no problem.


You perosnally did not set the password, nor asked to remember that password in your Keychain. Had you been the one setting the password, then the document would open automatically in your account, but outside of your account, it would challenge for a password.


However, somebody else set the password, and that means without it, you cannot open the document until that other person provides you with the password.
