How to unprotect Excel sheet if forgot the password
- Aug 14, 2025
I found this post from search engine and tried a couple of answers shared by others in this thread. However,
most of them were not working. Fortunately, I recovered the password successfully thanks to the reply made

P.S. for strong open password, you have to wait sometime to finally retrieve the password and unprotect the
sheet afterwards.
I actually ran into the same issue before. I ended up using a tool called Dr--Excel, and it worked like a charm. It took me just over 20 minutes to recover my 7-digit password, and I was back into my file without any issues.
I followed this step-by-step guide:

The interface is straightforward, and it’s easy to use. If you’re stuck like I was, I’d definitely recommend giving Dr--Excel a try.
Is this a safe product? Will the contents of my spreadsheet be shared or saved anywhere else but on my laptop?
