I forgot my password, how do I open a sheet if I forgot the pass

[Hector Solorzano]

I need to open my sheet but forgot my password and the sheet would not open.
does anybody know how to see the password or override this function ?

Hi,

If you've forgotton a worksheet/workbook protection password then there's
lots of code to do that and the best is here

If you've lost the password to open a workbook then that's a lot more
difficult and your into purchasing a password removel program. This is a good
one, it ain't cheap

By "sheet" I assume you mean "Workbook" or "File" and you need a password to
open.

There are many password crackers available on the 'net.

Do a search using that term.

Hi,

Your question is not clear - is it a sheet or a workbook that is protected.
If it is a sheet you can select the entire sheet and copy it to another
sheet. The destination sheet will not be protected. Then you can keep or
delete the original sheet.
