Password protect

I password protect my excel file worksheet and can't
somehow remember what the password. Is there a way/trick
to unprotect so I can edit my worksheet?

Is it a file password? or a worksheet password?

For the worksheet password you can use this:

GO to the worksheet ALT+F11 and paste this in a module...


Sub PasswordBreaker()
'Name of the Author lost in antiquity

'Breaks worksheet password protection.
Dim I As Integer, J As Integer, k As Integer
Dim l As Integer, M As Integer, N As Integer
Dim i1 As Integer, i2 As Integer, i3 As Integer
Dim i4 As Integer, i5 As Integer, i6 As Integer

On Error Resume Next
For I = 65 To 66: For J = 65 To 66: For k = 65 To 66
For l = 65 To 66: For M = 65 To 66: For i1 = 65 To 66
For i2 = 65 To 66: For i3 = 65 To 66: For i4 = 65 To 66
For i5 = 65 To 66: For i6 = 65 To 66: For N = 32 To 126
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Chr(I) & Chr(J) & Chr(k) & _
Chr(l) & Chr(M) & Chr(i1) & Chr(i2) & Chr(i3) _
& Chr(i4) & Chr(i5) & Chr(i6) & Chr(N)
If ActiveSheet.ProtectContents = False Then
MsgBox "One usable password is " & Chr(I) & Chr(J)
_
& Chr(k) & Chr(l) & Chr(M) & Chr(i1) & Chr
(i2) _
& Chr(i3) & Chr(i4) & Chr(i5) & Chr(i6) &
Chr(N)
Exit Sub
End If
Next: Next: Next: Next: Next: Next
Next: Next: Next: Next: Next: Next
End Sub

If its a file protection... u can getit carcked but it
usually costs something... I don't now how...

Cheers
Juan
