removing password from the new version of excel
4 Answers
I'm trying to get onto a spreadsheet I've not used in 6mths, it's on the new version of Microsoft Excel. It's password protected, but no-one can remember what the password it. Is there any way of removing it, or getting around it to view the sheet?

This also works for files which microsoft products think have crashed.....open them up in an open office application, resave them in the relevant microsoft format and it should re-open fine. This has saved my bacon on a number of occassions!
