I Need To Alter My Password In Excel Protect Sheet
Don't protect your sheet or use a password. Why would you want to? You seem
to be working at home. You and you alone. If you need to protect your sheet and you use a password, write it on a piece of paper, take it to your bank and put it in your safe deposit box. Then when you need it, go to the bank and get it. Just kidding of course! :). Tyro "Dasha" wrote in message ...

I Need To Alter My Password In Excel Protect Sheet
Hi
Providing you know your existing password, just unprotect the sheet using that password. Then when you protect again, give a new password. If it is only for yourself, to prevent accidental overwriting of formulae or other cell contents, then don't bother to give a password at all - it's optional. Just right click on sheet tabProtect SheetOK If you have lost your password, there are plenty of tools available to unprotect sheets with a password. It is not something that is totally secure. If you need to do this, then go to J E McGimpsey's site http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/removepwords.html -- Regards Roger Govier "Dasha" wrote in message ...
