Default Worksheet Password Recovery

Hi all,

Does anybody know the best way to write a macro that will
recover the password for a worksheet ?.

I am told that the security for this is weak and therefore
writing a program to access this is simple .

However, how is this different from writing any other
program to recovery a password (length undetermined) .
Afterall standard techniques would apply (e.g brute force,
dictionary methods etc..), so how is this easier for a
worksheet ?.

Also, I have a program that recovers VBA passwords from
Excel workbooks but I have no idea how it does this !??
But it does so instantly without fuss (excel versions
XP,2000,95). Can somebody explain how ?.

Any help on this, would be appreaciated.

Many thanks,
