Default password protected workbook

Hi,

If it's a password to open then I'm afraid you have a problem because
despite some claims otherwise I've never seen freeware or VB code that is
reliable. Right now you probably don't need reminding but in future write
down your passwords and don't store then on your PC. I put them on a piece of
paper and store the paper in my disctionary next to a page containing the
definition for 'Password'. While I'm not immune to hackers and thieves, i
doubt they will want to read the dictionary while going about their trade.

I use this one with success
