1. An image forming device that executes a job, being prescribed processing for image data of a document having page divisions, wherein each page division is on a sheet of the document comprised of multiple sheets, with execution of the job limited by a set password set in at least one page division of the document, comprising: an image data input unit that sequentially receives the image data of the document in each page division; a set password acquisition unit that acquires set password information, which is information regarding the set password set in the at least one page division of the document, in response to receiving the image data from the image data input unit; an input password receiving unit that starts reception of input of a password for canceling an execution limit of the job, before the reception of the image data of all page divisions of the document is completed by the image data input unit; a password verification unit that performs verification between the password received by the input password receiving unit and the set password acquired by the set password acquisition unit; an execution cancelling unit that cancels the execution limit when the password received by the input password receiving unit is verified by the password verification unit; and a job execution unit that executes the job by using the received image data when the execution limit of the job has been cancelled by the execution cancelling unit, wherein the image data input unit continuously sequentially receives image data of the page divisions of the document even when the input password receiving unit does not receive the password.
