MS Word Password protected without a hash

My elderly neighbor is wanting to work on his book he started years ago. He had it saved on floppy disc so I bought a reader and pulled the files off. He doesn't remember the password so I told him I would try to brute force. I don't know how to without a hash though. I am thinking it is a Microsoft 97 document. It says 97-2004. How would you all handle this? Appreciate your help.
