Protecting workbook on excel

Hi, 

 

I just protected a workbook on excel, but I misstyped the password two times. So, now I can not unprotect the workbook. 

Is there a possibility of "deprotecting" a workbook?

 

Thanks for your feedback!,

Best regards

    Hi,

     

    The good news for you is the Excel passwords are not foolproof!

    So you can break Excel protection.

     

    Just follow this link to learn more about that:
