I have an Excel sheet that has a password protection feature enabled. However, I have forgotten the password and I cannot access any of the data within the sheet. I need to remove the password from Excel sheet so that I can access and modify the data within it. I have tried various methods such as guessing the password, using online tools, and even using a macro to remove the password. However, none of these methods have been successful so far.
Therefore, I am looking for advice on how to remove the password from Excel sheet so that I can continue to work on the data within it. Thank you in advance.

Alright, so if the usual tricks didn’t do the trick for you, let's try another method:

I hope this helps you out. Remember, passwords are there for a reason (mostly to annoy us, I swear! ;p), so once you've unlocked your sheet, maybe jot down any new passwords somewhere safe. Good luck! :four_leaf_clover:
