Excel VBA password forgotten

[[email protected]]

Hi all,

I wrote some Excel VBA code some time ago, and I now can't remember
what password I used then to access the Excel VBA editor for the macros
that were applied to the spreadsheet.

Is there some way that I can retreive the password that I used back
then that I have now forgotten?

Thanks for your help.

Surely you would have remembered to write it down.
Are you sure it's yours?

The sheet and workbook protection is very easy to crack, the VBA is harder
but it is possible either by using a commercial program or a hex editor

you need to download a hex editor and there are plenty of free editors
around
