Password protected sheet access

[Rivane Cardim]

I have a spreadsheet protected with a unknown password.
How do I access this sheet?

Ps: the "read only" option is not available.

Thanks, Rivane.

Hi Rivane

Is this the password for opening the file, or the one for unlocking locked cells in the
already open sheet ?

Hi Rivane,

Don't worry, there are many simple tools available online that can
find the password in any Excel file. Some tools are free or very
cheap.

I quote from a recent post which I hope may prove helpful to you...

Please do not attempt to access a file unless you are authorised to do
so.
