Hi,
I currently work with Excel 2003. There is a worksheet that has a password
which I did not create. Yesterday it was fine but today when I try to type in
the cells i get a message that it is protected or read only. I already tried
the tools and properties menus to check if I can delete the read only or
password but have no luck? Does anyone know how to Remove a password that I
did not create nor anyone else? I am not sure how that can happen.
Thanks

Thank you! That's what I ended up doing. I just copied the entire sheet to
another worksheet. Question though.. can I save it under the same name &
pathe and my formulas wont change? I saved it under another name, but are
afraid to save it under the same name and lose something?
Thanks
 
Claudia,

if you try to save it in the same location and the same name, the system
should warn you that the file already exists, and ask you if you want to
replace it. As long as you're satisfied that the copied file is behaving as
you want, and has all the data you want, you could safely say yes. But you
may want to hang onto that original just in case there's something missing.
If the original name is important, you could rename the original file that
became protected, and then save your newly copied file as the original
filename.
