Remove Password from Excel Spreadsheet

Question

I created a password for my spreadsheet, and now want to REMOVE the password.

Is there a SIMPLE, EASY way to do so?
If not, there SHOULD BE, and I am very frustrated with Microsoft right now, trying to sort it out!
I have clicked on INFO, and there are NO options to unprotect a document.

I have clicked on REVIEW, and there are NO options to unprotect a document!

Thanks for your help!

If you forgot Excel password, then you can follow this guide to recover or remove the password. I successfully recovered a lost password in only 30 minutes:

Judes&nbsp;On a Mac, the password protection is part of Save As, Options.. Provided you have opened the workbook with the password, you can save it again without a password, thus removing it.
