I had to order VBAKey software for $45. It worked. Thanks.
In case you didn't know, the software doesn't recover the lost password. It
replaced the lost password with a new one that has some random
alphabets/numbers. The Excel file is then saved as if it were the original
file.
I guess the XLS file stores the encrypted password at a trackable position
in the binary form within its file. VBAKey somehow finds and removes that
block of codes...problem solved.
