Hi,

There are various websites out there where you can remove/recover a
lost or forgotten password to open an Excel file or unprotect a sheet
or workbook (or Excel 2000, Excel 97, XP, etc).

I had exactly the same problem recently when I lost my password to
open an important Excel file. I got my password back.

I quote from a recent post which I hope may prove helpful to you...

Please do not attempt to access a file unless you are authorised to do
so.
