Default File encrypted in Excel format. How to decrypt the file?

The error states "Excel cannot access "zzzzzzzz.xls". The document may be
read-only or encrypted." I do have a backup taken last week (03/25) the
last time changes were made to the file. However, the back up is showing as
encrypted as well. I was using it just yesterday. Now both the backup and
the original are encrypted and for the life of me I don't know why. Actually
the folder they are in is encrypted as well.
