Password Brake....
Hi everyone!
Thnank you for reading this! We have an Excel file which is password protected. Management had to let someone go and the sleazy person left the file with a password. I mean you can open it and see it, but the worksheet is protected. Is there anyway to brake it? or find it? Thank you very much! Mario |

Do a google search for excel password crack. It will bring up a myria
of software to do this (which tells you how secure Excel really is). Most of it costs something for other than a trial version which wil only get the first few characters. -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

Password Brake....
Also check out
www.download.com and search for excel password There is a free one there, with mixed reviews, but it is free and will (supposedly) crack all length passwords, but it might take overnight.

FYI, file protection and worksheet protection are very
different. Worksheet protection, which is apparently your situation, is very easy to break. File protection is very difficult. By the way, according to what I've read in the newsgroups, an exemployee has a legal obligation to provide passwords that they have set for company files and can be sued by the company if they don't. There are legal precedants in this regard. I know a way to break worksheet protection with just two lines of code. However, I'm not willing to share that here. A method that requires at least a little VBA knowledge can be found at John Walkenbauch's site: http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/faqs/pw.txt Regards, Greg -----Original Message----- Hi everyone!

Hi Mario!
As you can open the file, download AllInternalPasswords from: http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/removepwords.html Open the protected file. Open the AllInternalPasswords.xls file and run the subroutine. -- Regards Norman Harker MVP (Excel) Sydney, Australia |
