Helge,

If it's a worksheet/workbook protection password this will do it:-

If its a workbook to open or VBA module password then that's more difficult
but still doable with commercial software which can be bought quite cheaply
and the one I have used with great success is

If the file isn't confidential and you want it opening send an email to



I can probably help.

About 3 months ago I created a macro in a Excel 2000 spreadsheet

potentially make a big mess if they had access / or dumped into the to
the macro by accident, so I password protected it just to be on the safe
side. Just q week or so after I had finished the first version of the
spreadsheet model I ended up in hopital with a cerebral infarction from
which I am now slowly recovering, I suffer from random spots of memory
loss, some passwords seem to be gone, but not all.
I appologise for this long intro, but I felt it was right give you the
background, hoping to be trusted that I am not just another scoundrel
looking for an easy way to gain access to the intellectual achievement
of someone else. So; Is there a straightforward way to bypass or even
better, reveal the password. And please don't send any of those stupid
links to stupid wesites picturing a horses ass or similar, as this is a
honest cry for help.
