Excel VBA password forgotten

[assertec]

Hi all,

I wrote some Excel VBA code some time ago, and I now can't remember
what password I used then to access the Excel VBA editor for the macros
that were applied to the spreadsheet.

Is there some way that I can retreive the password that I used back
then that I have now forgotten?

Thanks for your help.

Karen

Surely you would have remembered to write it down.
Are you sure it's yours?

Hi Don,

I do lots of VBA coding for various departments within the organisation that
I do work for. This work which I have forgotten the password for - was done
some time ago - that's whay I asked for help to the newsgroup.

The sheet and workbook protection is very easy to crack, the VBA is harder
but it is possible either by using a commercial program or a hex editor

you need to download a hex editor and there are plenty of free editors
around
