Hello-
I have a workbook created in Office 2007 that I password protected for opening. I now use 2010. I am unable to remover the password protection for opening for this workbook. Could someone provide me with some tips?
I have gone to the Review Tab and the Protect Workbook option is greyed out.
I have also got to File, Info, Permissions - where it says that a password is required to open the workbook. When I click on the "Protect Workbook" button, everything is greyed out exept for the Restrict Permissions Option. When I attempt to toggle off the "unrestricted Access" option, nothing happens.

Thank you in advance for your help
