Password Protection on Workbooks
Hi, I set a password on a file I needed for university and now cannot remember the password. I have tried all the usual things I would set it to but no luck. I desperately need to get into the file. I have tried several different programs found in Google and have failed miserably. Is this mission impossible? Please help? -- xirokx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ xirokx's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25533 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=389696 |

Hi Thanks for the quick response. Its very interesting reading but I'm still no closer to finding out my password. Have I missed the obvious? Please help P.S. when i open the file the password box appears so cannot "save as" to obtain the info. -- xirokx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ xirokx's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25533 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=389696 |

Did you see relatively inexpensive commercial password crackers are available, either as stand-alone applications (all for Windows, currently) or as a service that you send the workbook to. AFAIK, there are no robust freeware password crackers. The links I list on that page can take you to commercial sites that will either break your password for a fee or allow you to purchase a password cracker. |

AFAIK, you're stuffed. There may be freeware crackers out there (do a
google search), but I generally would trust freeware hackers even less than I would trust hackers who ask for your credit card number. In article , xirokx wrote: is there no way of doing this for free - am i stuffed? |
