How do I save a password protected Excel doc in order to open?
Is there a way I can "save as" a password protected Excel spreadsheet to a
different location in order to open it, bypassing the password? |
Try
File|saveas on the SaveAs dialog, click on Tools|General and erase any password you find. Stamperfiend wrote: Is there a way I can "save as" a password protected Excel spreadsheet to a different location in order to open it, bypassing the password? -- Dave Peterson |
Thanks for your response. I appreciate your willingness to give me some
guidance. This suggestion did not work, however. The document is not one that I created. When I open it, there is a password box in the middle of a greyed out Excel spreadsheet. I do not have the option to get into any of the menu items. Is there another way? "Dave Peterson" wrote: Try File|saveas on the SaveAs dialog, click on Tools|General and erase any password you find.

If you need the password to open (different from the password to modify), you'll
have to find that password somehow. You could search google for password breakers (usually not free) or ask the developer. My suggestion would only work if you could open the file (even in readonly mode). Stamperfiend wrote: Thanks for your response. I appreciate your willingness to give me some guidance.

Thanks for getting back to me again. I was afraid this would be the answer,
but thought I had read about a way to circumvent a password. Appreciate your help.
