lost password
I have a sheet that I both read protected and write protected with a
password. Now I lost the password. I know I am an idiot, but I don't know if anything at all can be done? Thanks, Peter |

Hi Peter, some might prefer a free solution for internal passwords

I appreciate the link, David. I don't know how to copy the macro into
my protected book or run the macro on my protected book, as it seems I have to open it first, and I can't because it is password protected. Can you help? Thanks, Peter |

Then it's not just sheet protection afer all.
If you don't have access to the workbook at all then maybe it is protected by the network administrator if at work. In other words you cannot copy the file or backup the file with any application.. If neither of those you might have to go for one of the many pay for solutions.. First try installing the macro in your personal.xls file. I don't play with files with passwords. There is another thread in this group describing types of Excel protection: http://groups.google.com/groups?thre...8u% 404ax.com -- --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "peter" wrote in message oups.com...

I'm sorry, David, it is workbook protection, not sheet protection. I
protected it from opening. Oh well, thanks anyway. Peter |
