2. Question: How to Unprotect
an Excel 2010 Workbook?
I protect a workbook in Excel
2010 with a password. I have
the password, but now I
forgot the Excel password
and I can't figure out how to
unprotect. The option is not
there on the review toolbar.
3. It's grayed out as protect.
So where do I go to
unprotect? I tried to go to
File, that doesn't work.
How to unlock password
Microsoft Excel quickly?
I've tried selecting all
worksheets first and that
doesn't help. I'm at a loss
and need to edit this file
asap! Thank you!
4. Answer 1: Forgot xls password
is not the end of the world. Not
sure about 2010 but suspect it's
the same to 2007.
1. Open the Workbook with
PW.
2. Select <Save As> towards
the bottom of the save as
screen see <Tools> (to the left
of Cancel Save buttons).
3. Use the drop down arrow of
Tools <General Options>.
5. 4. You should now see 2 fields -
Password to Open and
Password to Modify (they will
have a number of Bullets in
one or both entries).
5. Delete them and click OK
then <Save> as same/diff
name (up to you but I suggest
diff name first time you try it to
be safe) - You will now be able
to Open the Unprotected file.
Hope this helps.
