Default Password

I am trying to open an excell file that I have not opened for about a year
but can not rememer the password. Is there any thing I can do to bypass the
password.

No, you cannot bypass the password but there are applications available to
crack the passwords. I don't know of any freeware applications so it would
cost you some money.

I was just wondering if MS has the facility of 'Password Hint Question' like
they do in case of e mail accounts. This facility can be given optional.
