Help: password protected excel file

Samson · 2003-05-29 12:29:25

I have an important (password protected) spreadsheet which I need to access, only problem is I have forgotten the password and can't find the post-it note where I wrote it Down (I know, I know). Anyone know how to get around this? I'm gonna be in the shit if I can't sort this out. :(

You'll get an excel password cracker on downloads.com, always works for me.

It depends on the type of password,
there are password crackers around but finding a free one could be hard
