Hi!
If it is a workbook password then here is the standard post on that one:
The following sites advertise ability to recover, amongst other things,
Excel file passwords. These passwords are imposed when saving Excel
files
and are not to be confused with *internal* passwords on sheets and
workbook
structure.
http://www.intertek.org.uk/
Excel Workbook recovery. Demo version up to 2 characters free. Full
version
for $5 advertises ability to recover any password.
Elcomsoft Advanced Office XP Password Recovery
http://www.elcomsoft.com/aoxppr.html
Unregistered (trial) version can be used during 30 days after
installation
(although it doesn't expire, actually) and has some limitations. They
have
programs for earlier versions. Cost of license $30. Reported to take a
long
time but worked in finding a 12 character lower case password. Like most
brute force approaches the fastest CPU speed computer available should
be
used.
Lostpassword.Com
http://www.lostpassword.com/excel.htm
All versions of MS Excel are supported (including Excel 2002) $45.
Download
demo version covers 2 character passwords and works but not much use.

day
guaranteed decryption service for a fee!
Reported to work quickly with Excel 2000.
