Excel is asking for a password while I never set one
From one day to another I can't open 2 of my Excel documents because they are
suddenly protected? One file is .xls en one file is .xlsx I'm sure I never set any password. How is this possible and how to access my files again? |

Excel is asking for a password while I never set one
I have never heard of Excel files passwording themselves.
Does "one day to another" mean OK one day but not the next then OK on third day? I'm betting "Someone" added a password. Passwords to open files are not easily cracked. There are some commercial applications out there that will do so. Do a 'net search on "password cracker".
