Check your caps lock key. Passwords are case sensitive.

Thanks for answering my question. I did check the caps lock key, but still
doesn't work.

could you tell me why? thanks.

Check your caps lock key. Passwords are case sensitive.

So that AbC is different than ABC or abc or ABc or....

If it's not the caps lock, it's usually the memory (your's not the pc!).

I've only just spotted this thread so apologies if I am off tack.

If you have a problem with a password, you could get one of several
utilities which will let you know the password on a particular file. That's
why password protection of excel and Word files are just not strong enough
protection!
