Excel Password Remover

On this site you will find products to help you remove forgotten passwords, both free and
PRO versions.

There are several passwords in Excel. The 4 first on this list are covered by the Excel
Password Remover:

1. A password for each sheet that protects cells from editing and/or viewing
2. A workbook structure password to protect hidden sheets and the sheet structure of
the workbook
3. A sharing password for shared workbooks (not so commonly used)
4. A password that protects the VBA code. Solution here: VBA Password Reset.
Alternate solutions here and here.
5. A password to open your workbook. For 97/2000/XP/2003-files I can recommend
this one: Excel Password Recovery Lastic. Excel Key can also do that, but also
attempt password recovery of Excel 2007/2010/2013 files.

Excel Password Remover removes the password protection applied by the “Protect
sheet” and “Protect workbook” commands in Excel (i.e. enables you to edit the workbook
even if you have forgotten your password).

It works on the active workbook, so you must be able to open the workbook in question.
It will remove passwords of any length, also passwords containing special characters. The
free version is for personal use only. The PRO version is for business users, and others
wanting the extra functionality.

Recommended links on the right contains links for other password needs.

Remove Passwords on Excel Password
Protected Sheets and Workbooks
How many times has this happened to you: you set a password on an Excel
spreadsheet or workbook and then you forget about it? Or worse, the person that
setup the password on the spreadsheet no longer works with you and you have a
spreadsheet that you can no longer modify. What do you do? Easy, use Excel
Password Remover.
This program does not remove passwords that are set when you open a
spreadsheet. If you are unable to open the file because it asks you for a password,
this program won’t help you. This program is to remove the password set by the
Protect Worksheet or Protect Workbook commands in Excel.
The free version will be able to remove those passwords for Excel 2007 and Excel
2010. To remove passwords from Excel 2013 or Excel 2016, you need to purchase
the PRO version, which is currently $28.
Download the free version of Excel password remover from this
link http://www.straxx.com/free-excel-password-remover-2012/. The
downloaded file should look like this:

Then open your password protected worksheet or workbook. After the password
protected sheet is open, click to open the password.xla add-in. You should get a
warning like this:
If you get a different message, probably you need to lower your security settings
on Excel. If your current settings are High, set them to Medium. After you click
on Enable Macros, you will get a pop-up saying the macro is loaded:

After you get the pop-up, in Excel go to Tools, and click on Unprotect
workbook and Unprotect sheet. You should get a pop-up window when your
spreadsheet has been unprotected:

That’s it, your Excel workbook or spreadsheet should be now unprotected. You
should be able to view and edit the contents of the spreadsheet or workbook. For
