Remove Excel Workbook or Worksheet Lost Password for Free
It’s possible to protect Microsoft Office Excel worksheets and workbooks from unauthorized changes with password. But, what if you forget or misplace the password? If you can’t remember or recover the password, the Excel data might become inaccessible.
At this situation, the freeware Excel Password Remover comes in handy. It’s a Microsoft Office Excel Add-In that removes and cracks the Excel workbooks and worksheets password protection, and thus enable you to regain access to the Excel data. It can remove passwords of any length, also passwords containing special characters.
Excel Password Remover adds two extra menu-items on the “Tools” drop-down menu (or its equivalent in non-English versions of Excel). These are:
- Unprotect workbook
- Unprotect sheet
Excel Password Removeer can be downloaded here. To install the add-in, just open it with the usual way you open an Excel file, ie. by double clicking on the file. Note that you must enable the macro for it to load properly. The add-in works in Microsoft Excel 5.0 and above (including Microsoft Office Excel 2000, XP and 2003).
Important Excel Password Remover is intended for recovering worksheet or workbook element protection password only. It should not be confused with file security password, which protects the whole Excel file from opening or editing. So if you’re unable to open an Excel file due to forgetten password, this add-in won’t be able to help you.

I used Excel Password Unlocker to remove the lost worksheet password. AS far as I know, Office password unlocker also can recover excel password, ms word password and access passwords.

Thank you SO much!!!

Works BUT… for some reason it won’t allow you to put a new PW in I think so I gave up.
Then I found out this other fix:
With the file open, choose File….Save As.
Then within the Save As Dialog box, choose Tools….General Options.
There you can adjust / remove the password settings.

June 16th, 2007 12:52
sweet. thanks. btw, you might want to note, to specifically not goto tools/protection rather just to tools dropdown and find the item listed at bottom…
Perhaps important to mention it is not under tools/protection, as intuition drives user there.
