If you forgot your password to your Excel-file, I have got a very easy solution for you.

    1. First close the Excel-file.
    2. Next thing you do is, right click the Excel-file and open it with any Zip program.
    3. When the Zip file is opened, you’ll see 3 folders. Open up the folder named “xl”, then ,,worksheets”.
    4. Copy the sheet which has a password to your desktop.
    5. Open it op with “Editor” or “WordPad”. In the file search (Ctrl + F) for “sheetprotection” delete the sentence from “<” to “>”.
    6. Save the edited file. Copy it again to “Worksheets”, and rename the old excel file to the original ending (.xlsx).
    7. Now if you open up the Excel-file, it should be without any sheetprotection.
