What the e-Aadhaar password looks like
The e-Aadhaar PDF is normally protected with the first 4 letters of your name, as written on your Aadhaar, in CAPITAL letters, followed by your year of birth. For example, a person named Suresh born in 1990 would use SURE1990.
If it doesn't work, check the spelling of your name on the card and the download instructions on the official UIDAI site, since the exact rule can be different for some documents.
Keep your Aadhaar private
An unlocked copy has no protection, so anyone who gets it can read it. Store it carefully and avoid sending it over untrusted channels. If you need to share it, consider adding a password again with the Add password mode.
Only unlock files you're allowed to open
This tool needs the password. It cannot guess, crack or bypass one, and it can't open a file whose password you don't have. It's meant for documents that are yours, or that you've been given the password to, such as your own statements, payslips or ID.
Removing a password doesn't change who owns a document. Don't remove restrictions from files you aren't permitted to copy or share.
Why it's safer than upload sites
Most online unlockers send your PDF, and often its password, to a server. A bank statement or ID card is exactly the kind of file you don't want sitting on someone else's machine.
Here, the file is read and processed inside this browser tab. The page's security policy blocks network requests to other sites, so the file and password have nowhere to go. After the first visit it also works offline.
Questions
What is the password for an e-Aadhaar PDF?
Usually the first 4 letters of your name in CAPITALS plus your year of birth, such as SURE1990. Check UIDAI's instructions for your download if it's rejected.
Is it safe to unlock my Aadhaar here?
The file is opened inside your browser and the page can't send it to any other site. Still, the unlocked copy is unprotected, so handle it with care.
Can this tool recover a forgotten password?
No. It only works when you already know the password. It does not guess or crack passwords, and a strongly encrypted PDF can't be opened without it.
Does it change my Aadhaar or its QR code?
The pages are copied as they are, so the card layout and QR code are kept. The tool does not alter the content, but it also can't validate the document.
