## Removing Encryption from PPTX Presentation via C++

Aspose.Slides for C++ lets you remove encryption or write protection from PPTX 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 PPTX using C++

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

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

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

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

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

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