I locked one of my files, without intending to do so. The
file is read only therefore I can not edit it or delete
it. I do not know the password. I have assigned a new file
name to this file now I can edit the new file. How do I
delete the original file which is read only?

Did you try deleting it fom explorer assuming you have at least modify
permissions to the file? If you are an administrator, you could always take
ownership, give yourself full permissions and then delete it. --- Steve

If it is locked by a password there are numerous password retrieval programs
voor excel available on the web. Try googling for one.
