VBA Password Recovery Software

[Nick]

Hi All

I have forgotten the password to a file I created in
Excel. I locked the Visual Basic on the file and now
can't reopen it to look at the macros I wrote. I have
been looking for some freeware on the web for a password
breaker, however there isn't any I can find that will
break the code.

Can anyone recommend a site or software that will break
the password for free?

Has anyone bought VBA Password Recovery software and I
could send them my file to be unlocked?

Thank you so much if you can help!

Cheers
Nick

I have something that is 80% finished that can do that but it is no
something I ever intend to share- If I want to share some files an
protect the code then share this then why bother!! It's sole purpose i
to be used by me in the situation you have specified.

When complete I will probably make it available on the basis of send t
me with proof the file is yours. If i don't think it is or you can'
tell me what I should find in there then I'm not interested.

If you are still struggling in 5-6 hrs time then send it to me if yo
want. I have yet to test any part of my system on an "unknown" file. M

Hi DNF,

me with proof the file is yours. If i don't think it is or you can't
tell me what I should find in there then I'm not interested.

There already is an application that does this for Excel and it is free.
Send me an email and I'll give you it's address.

If you can convince me this is a legitimate request, you may send it to

It's OK, I have been making the file as a "challenge" in my spare time
I used to get asked on an almost weekly basis if I knew a way to unloc
a worksheet/file, largely due to the retentive (and fairly pointless
security processes of a company i used to work for.

Once I'd got the password generator up and running it's been fairl
easy though there are some odd patterns such as unprotecting
worksheet with the "wrong" password. I'm guessing this is related t
how the encryption works.

The only headache was controlling the VBE from excel. I gave in an
have used the sinful method of sending keys from word. I just couldn'
find the right object/property combination I needed to manipulate th
VBE and protect/unprotect it. Is there a command similar t
"activesheet.protect"?

No there isn't, the only method is indeed sendkeys, which is unreliable.

The application I referred to just gets rid of the password altogether
and doesn't give it, it just cracks it.

Hello

I developed an excel spreadsheet for the Rugby World Cup
in Australia in October last year. I used some macros
which I want to reuse and now I look at the file, I locked
the VBA properties tab and I can't for the life of me
remember the password. Stupid, yes, but my request is
legitimate and I can tell you all about the spreadsheet
because I created it.

Would appreciate some help!

Thanks
Nick

Send it to me, I'll remove the PW.
