Hi Mates. There's this person who asks me if it is possible to remove the forgotten password off his locked excel (.xls) file. I try a program "Ultimate Zip Cracker" but it takes ages to process file and I finally give up and stopped it. Can anybody tell me a quicker way to reset or remove an Excel.xls file password?

if you want an answer to a question, please post it in the question forum.

However, if you want help in cracking a password, please post it in some other forum as that type of question will no be answered in this community.

that agrees with Computer Cookie. This other person would add that some things are worth waiting for.

A) Open document > Select edit menu > choose select all > then choose copy from edit menu.
Open new document > edit menu> paste.
Select tools menu> choose options> window opens with options. Select form different tabs the edit tab> make sure that al desired boxes are selected.
Select save tab>choose and mark box>ask about properties
accept or Apply options and close.
Save new document different name. When saving it should ask if you want to save properties> choose not save. Maybe it asks if you want to modify properties> choose yes> select box archive amongst read only, hidden or archive.
If this does not work.

B)There are many 3rd party utilities which claim to reset forgotten word password:
The program that I recommend is the Excel Password Recovery 5.0 It recovers/removes the "Password to Open" and "Password to Edit" for you to view and edit the document freely. http://www.recoverlostpassword.com/products/excelpasswordrecovery.html
