Office Password Recovery
-
Got an Excel 2003 document at work that is password protected. The bloke that created the document was fired a couple of months ago. Needless to say he doesn't feel like giving us the password. Need to use the document to calculate daily takings and have found a couple of small errors I need to correct. Any recommendations of products I can get/purchase to find/remove the password for me?

The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash 24/04/2004

Is it the file that's secured or the workbook? I've used this one for workbooks and worksheets: http://www.elkraft.ntnu.no/~huse/xlpassword.htm[^]

Both, though you do not need to enter a password when you open the document. The formulas and cells are password protected.

Cells are set to hidden (even those cells that I need to enter data into) so when password protected you see nothing. So I believe that copying will not find the relevant formula information.
