Macros & Passwords
- It sounds like the original author took a picture of the password information just so future users will have it but almost certainly the password itself is in the VBA/macro section. You and go there and search for the password and try to change it yourself. if you click alt-F11 that should open the VBA editor/environment and then on the left is a list of the workbooks that are open (and maybe some other things) if you don't see that try clicking ctrl-R to open the project explorer. double click an item is the workbook of interest to open a page of code (even if it is blank) and then hit ctrl-f to do a search. make sure you select entire project on the bottom left. search for the old password.
Other than that, I would need the workbook to help you.
Recently, I had to change the gmail password and now it needs changed in my spreadsheet. The password looks like it is in an imported picture, not a cell. But won’t let me edit.
You needed to change the gmail password for what, exactly? I can't image that it's a gmail password for the Excel spreadsheet. (Spreadsheets can be protected by a password, but it wouldn't be described as a "gmail password".)
That aside, a password would not be a picture. Although there could be an image of a password; i.e., an image of some text. And, yes, it couldn't be edited, but if it's text, then that's a starting point.
All in all, I'm not sure that what you're describing is an Excel issue, per se. So maybe you can give us a bit more to work with, beginning by responding to what I've said above.
