akt Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I had created 1 password protected excel file using excel 2016 long back. Unfortunately I have forgot the password. I also don't remember the number of characters used for password.Is there any means by which the password protection may be disabled (using any add-Ins/macros)? I have tried Brute Force attack but it is taking hell lot of time for recovery.If any reliable s/w is known to you for recovery purpose, then please do inform me Regards.

Dude but the code which has been given is for enabling editing in a locked excel sheet which is already opened. But in my case, Excel sheet is not opening as I don't know the password. So I am interested in either password recovery or password removal for UNOPENED excel sheet. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debebee Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 In Excel 2013 and 2016 on Windows, a stronger encryption algorithm is used for the sheet and workbook structure passwords so previous brute force attacks are too slow to remove these passwords. http://www.straxx.com/excel-2013-and-excel-2016/ You should'nt have forgotten the passowrd in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
