BEFORE YOU PURCHASE
PLEASE NOTE: ExcelSuperSite makes NO GUARANTEE that following the instructions presented within this guide that you will be able to successfully unprotect your Excel spreadsheet.

Spreadsheets that require a PASSWORD TO OPEN can ONLY be unprotected if you know the password to open the file. This guide presents some third-party software alternatives that claim they are able to recover/remove passwords to open spreadsheet files. These software are small, lightweight utilities that employ different “attack modes” on your spreadsheet (ranging from brute-force and dictionary-style attacks) and support most versions of Excel, and are not 100% guaranteed to work.

The success rate of them is very largely dependant on the complexity of the password used to protect the spreadsheet in the first place.

Simple passwords that only contain numbers or letters and have few characters may be able to be retrieved without too much trouble. However, if you have a long password (more than 10 characters) that contains upper and lowercase letters, as well as numbers, and also includes special characters, then the success rate of these will generally be quite low.
