Good evening T100


This must be one off the most asked questions, if you do a search top right you will be inundated with answers, even those that point out you may need software to unlock certain types and levels of passwords
 
Hi bobhc, I tried searching but I couldn't find a single article related to my query. I found some related to password hacks for protected worksheets but not in case the entire file is locked.

Not quite sure what search words you are using but these to links are from the search.I think you may find the second one useful.

Hi bobhc, I don't think those links u gave me resolve my problem. I have an excel file which when I double click to open it asks for a password. I have forgotten the password so how do I view the contents of that file?
 
Hi T100,


You can break/remove passwords in Excel using Excel from Quick Office by Sun System, see this post:

When I lost my Excel password, I did quite a research only to find out that all password recovery programs can't guarantee successful restoration of lost password. If the password is long and complex, it may take years for them to find it. The only way to reliably remove password from Excel 2007 or later version (I had Excel 2010) that I have found was online service called www.password-find.com. It exploited some new algorithm that allows removing password instantaneously (removed my within several seconds). However it does not work for 100% of documents, so check it by yourself - maybe the developers improved it since then. If your document is saved in old Excel 97-2003 format you may try Free Excel password Recovery that someone mentioned already - it may work if lost password is really simple. I hope my post will save you a huge amount of time I wasted looking for some problem resolution
