Forgotten share & protect password

[Guest]

Hi all

I am using Excel XP and have forgotten my "Protect & Share Workbook" password
I have tried JE McGimpsey's and Straxx's password remover, but they dont work
Does anyone know how to remove this type of password without using a commercial programme

I've tried adapting the code from JE McGimpsey's site, I.E
From
With ActiveWorkboo
WinTag = .ProtectStructure Or .ProtectWindow
End Wit
To
With ActiveWorkboo
WinTag = .ProtectSharin
End Wit

But ProtectSharing isn't a function..

Can anyone please help.
Many thanks in advance
Alanso.

Hello Alanso,

My advice is to send the file to somebody who knows how to recover
this type of password in MS Excel.

I can reccomend the service on this website, they've never let us
down:

You can just send them your file, then they email you back the
password. Easy.

Best wishes,

Mark.
