Password Problem
Hi everyone,
I'm using Office 2K3 and in one of file I put a password and now I forget that password. Is there any way to get the contents of that file or to break the password for the same. As that data is very much important for me and I need to forward that data to the management and it's very urgent. Even that data can not be re-arranged from anywhere. So please help if anybody have any suggestion.. Every suggestion will be appreciated .... Thank you in advance ........... |

there is also a link on that page that takes you to a discussion of the
password to open and subsequent links to programs or companies that will break the password. I've never used any, so can't recommend one or the other.

Password Problem
Thanks JMB.
But I've checked out all the links on that page and either they are for 3 to 4 digit password or are paid... Isn't there any other wayout or any other tool to crack xl password... Even if anytype of programming can do it then please let me know about the same. I'll be really thankful as it's really hampering my work ...

Password Problem
File passwords are harder to crack than internal passwords.
You will probably have to shell out some money to get your file open. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 3 Sep 2008 08:26:13 -0700, Miki wrote: Thanks JMB.

Password Problem
If I knew how to crack it programmatically, I'd write a password cracking
utility and charge people for it as there is a bit more work involved. As Gord said, the file protection is not as weak as the internal protection. "Miki" wrote: Thanks JMB.

Password Problem
If there was an easy way to retrieve the data, they couldn't label the
feature "protection" and it would defeat the reason you protected the file in the first place. On JE McGimpsey's website (link already given), he noted you may be able to view the layout/data with a hex editor. And since there are a number of XL file cracking utilities available, you are correct that there is a way to do it - I'm just saying it's unrealistic to expect someone who has no vested interest in retrieving your data to invest that kind of time in developing the utility and not charge you for it. I've visited this site for years and have never seen a suggestion for this problem that didn't involve $$. "Miki" wrote: but there must be any wayout for the same!!! Can't I fetch the data even ????
