unlock word

I am not able to type anything on my Word Documents, and I dont know why at the bottom of the screen it says, that this modification is not allowed because the document is locked, can anyone tell me how to get it unlocked? Thanks.

If you are not able to make changes to a document, your Word program might not be activated, the document might be locked for editing or password-protected, or you might be trying to modify a document or text in a form that is protected.

Incase the copy of Word document that you have is a full version and properly activated, then it could be that renaming the Normal template will solve the problem. If you want help finding the Normal template, then you can search for it in Windows, by making sure to search for hidden files and folders.
