Unprotect cells in a worksheet when I have forgotten the password
I have created a worksheet some time ago and protected certain cell within it
and gave the worksheet a password in order to edit it. Unfortunately I can no longer remember the password and to save me creating the worksheet again it would be better if there was a way round this or a small program that will remove the password for me. Your help is appreciated. |
