I have a password protected worksheet that I do not remember the password for.  How do I unprotect the sheet for editing?

    Officially, there's no way to do this. There are some macros and services advertised out there that claim to break sheet protection, and some may do, but take caution before running unknown code on your workbook. There is no password recovery option built in to Excel.
