How do I Unlock A Protected Excel Spreadsheet without the Password?

[Terron5]

I'm wondering how I can unlock a protected excel spreadsheet without the password? I've tried a few online methods but none of them seem to be working. There must be a way to do this without the password, right? Thank you for your help! The Excel edition is 2016, if that makes a difference. and the spreadsheet is password protected with a "strong" password, will that make it harder to unlock?
