Try searching Google - lots of useful tools for this. Never done it myself but always been told it is a fairly easy task. If you do use something to try and crack the password make sure you have the file you want to break backed up just in case it gets trashed.Comment

I've got the pawword breaker for versions up to 2003, I'm sure there's more up to date ones around. Very easy, gives VBA passwords etc too.Originally posted by Halo Jones View PostOk just to break a habit of a lifetime I am going to ask an IT related question: Is there any way of unlocking an Excel spread sheet without the pass word?Comment
