Excel cannot access..

[guestman]

Hi
Very important accounting(which is 26 KB only) excel file is not allowing me to open the file. I may encrypted this worksheet and immediately turned into green colour, 6 months later i reinstalled windows XP pro but this time iwhen i try to open

First dialog box show that : Excel cannot access "file name". The document
may be read-only or encrypted.
Then second dialog box show up : Cannot access "file name".....
i tried openoffice.org but didnt solve the problem.I never used any password for this file.
I think this excel file ,when i choose the option to encrypt ,it got a certificate
from windows xp and when i reinstall it ,it can not reach the same certificate.
ANy idea how to open this important file ?
you can write to me at [email protected]

Thanks in advance

You lost what is needed to decrypt it so just delete the very important file.
Next time use passwords instead of encryption.
