I have a soft copy of the fifth edition of the PMBOK guild but forgot the PW after a few years of not using it. Does anyone remember?

This will be the same password which you have for the PMI website so if you can reset password there you can use the same. If you are still a member of PMI then you can download the PMBOOK 6 which is a latest edition.

I have tried this multiple times and does not work. I currently am struggling to download these "free" pdfs with no way to annotate or take notes.

What if I log in using Google and not a username and password?

Shawn -

The password would have been "locked" in the PDF file based on what your PMI user password was at the time you downloaded it. Even if you update your password now on pmi.org, it will not dynamically update that downloaded document.

I don't know if older editions of PMI standards can be downloaded or not - if they can, you can reset your password on the pmi.org website and re-download it.

Otherwise, do this and download the sixth edition as there really shouldn't be any reason to reference an older version...

Hi Kiron,
I'm no longer a member but have an older version and my password as suggested doesn't seem to do the trick. How can I get a copy ( the version I have is fine by me, 6th edition) that I can open?

Thanks for the probing question Shawn. I've been battling to log in to pmbok 6th edition but to no avail. I have tried both my PMP & PMI ID but didnt work. I will definitely try my login password and definitely come and give feedback.

Unfortunately, the only option would be to purchase a copy from an online book seller such as Amazon assuming they are still carrying the Sixth Edition.
