A common request across the Excel forums is looking for some way to remove a password from the worksheet/workbook/VBA project.
Take note, putting a password on any of these items does not make it secure, it only slows someone down from messing things up. With that mindset, here's the file I use for cracking passwords. We've talked about these various methods before. The point of this thread is just to put it into the Vault for future reference, and to put all the methods in a single locations. Attached file will let you remove all worksheet, workbook, and VBA passwords. At last test (Jan 2015), works on Excel 2003, 2007, 2010. For 2013, works on 32-bit only.
I'm not taking credit for developing these codes, just wanted to have them in 1 handy location for others to find.
PS. Password required to open a file is not covered by this tool.
