BEFORE YOU PURCHASE THIS GUIDE
PLEASE NOTE:
ExcelSuperSite makes NO GUARANTEE that following the instructions presented within this guide, 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 pieces of software are typically 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.
They claim to be able to recover/remove passwords to open spreadsheet files BUT they are not 100% guaranteed to be successful.
The success rate of these 3rd party software alternatives is very much dependent on the complexity of the password used to protect the spreadsheet in the first place.
You may be successful in recovering simple passwords that contain only numbers or letters and have few characters. However, if you used a long, complex password (more than 10 characters) that contains upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, the success rate of this software will generally be very low.
