Password Protected Excel Workbook - Forgotten Password
A coworker has password protected my workbook in Excel. I am able to unprotect specific sheets of my workbook, but cannot unprotect the workbook as a whole. He forgot the password and did not realize it was not necessary. Is there a way to remove the workbook password without recreating this wheel? Thank you for your input.

- Which protection are we talking about? The one invoked by the button on the Review tab? Or the one where you have to know the password to be able to open the file?
