Hi,
Here is the web address of some software that we use to open lost passwords and files that should not be passworded! We have not had any failures yet, but "good" passwords may take some time to crack.

http://www.elcomsoft.com/prs.htmlIf your password is not more than 4 widgets you can download a trial version that may do the trick for you. If it is more than 4 long you will have to purchase the full version.

Hope it helps,
PJ

To recover data without password, you could import it into access then copy to a new excel spreadsheet.
