Unfortunately, the translation came across as if the password were the problem.
However, if it is a question of damaged Excel files and not about passwords then you can find information here.
This method of repairing Excel files works as of Office 2003.
Start Excel on your computer.
Now, depending on the version, click on "File" or the "Office" button at the top left and select the "Open" item.
Now select the desired Excel file and click on the arrow next to "Open" (see picture).
Here click on the item "Open and Repair".
Confirm the query by clicking on "Repair".

An attempt will now be made to repair the Excel file. If this is successful, save the file.
If an error occurred or the file was not repaired, try the process again.
If an error occurred or the file was not repaired, try the process again.
In the final query, however, do not click on "Repair" but on "Extract data".
The file should now be repaired at the latest.

NikolinoDE Thanks a lot for your efforts, but it's just not happening despite trying all the alternatives as per advice. Shall try buying any of those software and attempt. Maybe I would succeed.
