Visit JE McGimpsey's site:

If I recall correctly, this will remove the password--not tell you what it is.

But then you could reprotect the worksheet with any password you want that's
memorable <vbg.

Yep. The code is in blue/purple near the bottom.

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

I would think asking on MySpace.com and verifying that you are the owner of that
page would be one way.
