Default excel passwords

Thanks for the post. Does this McGimpsey macro work on a workbook that asks
for a password as soon as you open the workbook? If I open the workbook I
have to either click OK with no password or click cancel and if I run the
macro after that it seems like the macro is not running on the password
protected workbook since it is probably not open.

With that in mind, here's a web site that has been previously posted by JE
McGimpsey on the subject.

Are Excel passwords easy to crack? We have a spreadsheet that we forgot the
password for and was wondering if we could get into it.

How secure are Excel passwords?
