We have had a user recently leave our organization (ie fired) and need to access some excel files that they had created. However they password protected the file so we can not open it. Is there a way to bypass the password or do we need to use password recovery software; if so is there one that is recommended?

Hi,
We have a policy at Tek-Tips, not to address password cracking issues.

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.
Please read FAQ222-2244 before you ask a question
