How to unprotect Excel sheet if forgot the password
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 successfully saved my Excel document to Google Sheets, which removed the worksheet protection. Then, I saved it back as an Excel file on my desktop.
This was an awesome fix. I had a single sheet in multi sheet workbook copied the locked sheet to a new excel then uploaded to google doc and redownloaded and added back in then reloaded password protection.
