I downloaded my monthly bank statement as a PDF from my account, but when I try to open it on my laptop it asks for a password. I never set one, so I have no idea what it wants. Has anyone else run into this?

Banks usually lock those themselves, it’s not something you set. The password is typically your date of birth, customer ID, or part of your account number, sometimes a combo of those. The email that came with the statement normally spells out the exact format, so check there first, or the bank’s help page.
