How to unprotect Excel sheet if forgot the password
I recently encountered a problem and hope to get your help. I set a protection password for an Excel file before. Now I want to modify some data, but I found that I forgot Excel password. I wonder if...
VBA scripts and file extension modification methods are only useful for removing basic Excel sheet or workbook protection. These methods cannot unlock the “Password to Open” security type. If the Excel file is protected with strong AES encryption, manual techniques will not work because the encryption is nearly impossible to bypass. In such cases, a professional solution is required to recover the Excel password smoothly and accurately. You may still try Microsoft-recommended solutions like Sys Tools Excel Password Recovery Tool.
