Unprotect workbooks
 

We receive Excel workbook files every day which are password protected with
the same password. We know this password. Is there a utility or method to
remove password protection on these workbook files without invoking
Excel.exe or the Excel object. Our goal is to take Excel out of the process
and utilize SpreadsheetGear in VB.net. However, SpreadsheetGear can only
unprotect worksheets not workbooks.

Thanks

Unprotect workbooks
 

I am pretty sure you have to instantiate the application to get to the
workbook and remove the protection.
