Someone in our office has forgotten the password to a
document that they protected. Is there any way of
getting it? We tried simply cutting and pasting the
data, but not even that works.

Any info would be helpful.

Thanks
 
Mickey, have a look here

Always backup your data before trying something new
Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it
Feedback on answers is always appreciated!
Using Excel 97 & 2000

If the OP is able to access the data to cut and paste, a file-level
password-cracker like this won't help.

Hi Mickey,

No problem!

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

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