Default Last Password

I have an old spreadsheet for putting together final
estimates. I had password protected it to keep the
framework of the sheet from being altered by others who
were also using the sheet. I am now at a new company, and
I brought this sheet with me, and need to make
alterations, but I cannot remember the password.
Does anyone know how I can look up the password from
within the sheet?

Thanx! That worked! (and it's no wonder I couldn't
remember it...)

If it's a "open the file" password then you have to pay someone, like
http://www.lostpassword.com

Word of warning though: If you made the file in your working hours, or used your former
employer's equipment, then THEY, not you or your new employer, own this file. Not only may
you get sued pretty hard because you stole it, but also for taking the secret password
with you and refusing to give it back to the rightful owner. So be careful, preferrably
also decent, about this.
