i forgot the password used for the exel sheet
Google is your friend?
Many available password 'crackers' for Excel workbooks and worksheets, some free, some not. Some not-free ones permit a download of demo that will provide something like first X number of characters or every other character of a password or limit the length of the password to be detected. But those might give you hint enough to jog your memory. Typically such crackers don't even tell you the original password, but they will give you a word that will work to unlock it. Then you just protect it again using a word you do want to use. Search for phrases like Excel password detector or Excel password recovery Make a backup copy of your file before attempting any password recovery on it just in case. If bad goes to worse and you can't seem to get it unlocked and are willing to entrust me with the file, email it as an attachment to and I'll use one of the commercial products that I own to unlock it and return it to you without the protection so you can re-apply a more memorable password to it.
