I have a worksheet that is password protected, and I can't remember the password. Any way to break it without downloading the "questionalble" software that my google search returned?

Thanks!

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
