Well actually you can do it via VBA
You just need a VAST amount of time and a
Large Dictionary, using a Brute force method.
Your code would be screwed by "kajsdfkljhaslkwio234@#$w434kh", then, huh? :wink: )
Yup..thats exactly right! :wink:
Using Brute force No good, But typical users put in more meaninful passwords even though they may have been told Not to. Book protection is a little more complicated then Sheet code, the
hash generation algorithm is the same as
with sheet protection, but the whole
document is encrypted. However the password
that is entered which is used to encrypt the
document is a fixed key stored in the MS
Excel program code ? Is it any wonder that
there is an abundance of excel cracks avail.
This key is generated from the Password "VelvetSweatshop".
If you protect a MS Excel workbook with this
password, no password is required to open
the document!!!
