Excel Workbook Password

[CLINS]

I have password protected an Excel workbook and forgotten the password! Does anyone know a way around this?

If you do a search on the net, you will find programmes that can break the code. however these programmes are illegal. As far as I know, there is no legal way round this problem

5029: since when is it illegal to use software to remove or remind you of your own password? The software is not illegal its how you use it.
CLINS: you will find that many of these programs are commercial you will have to pay for them however some trial versions may show you the first digits of your password and this may be enough to remind you. Do a google search for excel-password-recovery
