Brute forcing would be fine, since I don’t think I would’ve used a long password for this, but I don’t know how to automate that either. Any ideas?

    You’re looking a tool called John the Ripper. The jumbo version comes with a script called office2john, which extracts the password hash for it to crack.

    I believe you can also use hashcat with the password hash, which will be a lot quicker if you have a GPU because John is CPU bound.
