I'm trying to overwrite a number of files and remove the workbook password

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="name of file.xls", _
FileFormat:=x1normal, Password:="", writerespassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False

this code doesn't remove the password, I've searched the net and can't find any help on this
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Just record a macro while removing password from a workbook manually and see what is the codes.
