Unprotect Password Protected Sheet

[melewie]

Hi All,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
I have a workbook with a sheet that is protected, and being the idiot that I am I have forgot the password <?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" oreferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"></v:stroke><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></v:f></v:formulas><vath o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f"></vath><o:lock aspectratio="t" v:ext="edit"></o:lock></v:shapetype> the problem I have is there is now dozens of examples of this workbook throughout the company. I have found code that will 'break' the password, but Ideally I would like to find out what the password is....Does anyone know if this is even possible and if so how to code this?<o></o>
<o></o>
Any help would be great, thanks<o></o>

Hi.

Checkout the forum rules here

I think it's rule #11.

Discussion of breaking passwords is not allowed . . .

Sorry my mistake, I didn’t realise this wasnt allowed.

I have reported my own post and requested it be removed.
