Excel password

[DazzaC]

Is there anyway of resetting a password that has been implemented to protect a workbook?? I have a user that cannot remember the password that they applied to the workbook and consequently cannot access it. Thanks.

Try this website, it offers a free download for removing workbook and worksheet protection even if you don't know the password. It doesn't however, remove passwords to open a workbook.

No password cracking questions ansered here please.

Plenty of data can be found by searching google

Summary:
WorkBOOK = you pay for the protection to be removed (£25 appprx)
WorkSHEET - you can do it with brute force code

Yesterday it worked. Today it is not working. Windows is like that.

Please read FAQ222-2244 before you ask a question
