## Removing Encryption from PPT Presentation via C++

Aspose.Slides for C++ lets you remove encryption or write protection from PPT presentations. Use `LoadOptions` to open an encrypted file, then use the `ProtectionManager` object from the `Presentation` class to call `RemoveEncryption` or `RemoveWriteProtection`.

### Disabling Password Protection from PPT using C++

```cpp
auto loadOptions = MakeObject<LoadOptions>();
loadOptions->set_Password(u"password");

auto presentation = MakeObject<Presentation>(u"encrypted-presentation.ppt", loadOptions);

presentation->get_ProtectionManager()->RemoveEncryption();
presentation->Save(u"unlocked-presentation.ppt", SaveFormat::Ppt);
presentation->Dispose();
```

### Removing Write Protection from PPT Presentation using C++

```cpp
auto presentation = MakeObject<Presentation>(u"write-protected-presentation.ppt");

presentation->get_ProtectionManager()->RemoveWriteProtection();
presentation->Save(u"unlocked-write-protected-presentation.ppt", SaveFormat::Ppt);
presentation->Dispose();
```

## How to Remove Password From PPT via C++

These are the steps to remove protection from PPT files.

Load the PPT file with the `Presentation` class and `LoadOptions` when a password is required.

Use the `ProtectionManager` object to remove protection.

Call `RemoveEncryption` for encrypted files or `RemoveWriteProtection` for write-protected files.

Save the unlocked file with `SaveFormat::Ppt`.
