I started a spreadsheet for a friend a couple of months back and as she is
always messing it up I password protected it and now cant get the password
correct to update it. It wont be a difficult one as for something like that
(not important) I usually use something simple like `password` or just `p`
enough to stop them deleting my formulaes, I have tried all my usual
permutations but can crack it. The spreadsheet is not urgent and would only
take a couple of hours to re create, but if I dont have to then.......

Any help appreciated.
thanks
