    Excel Protect Sheet Algorithm

    Hey Guys,

    A coworker in my department put a protect password on the sheet. We use the same password for all our sheets. She somehow typed in the wrong letter combinations and doesnt know what she did.

    Now I know there are ways to crack this Password. I went online and found free programs to do so but they all want you to pay to use.

    After I couldnt get it I went to my boss, The IT Manager. I asked him for help he said hed take care of it. He got it removed in a matter of min. Come to find out he has a algorithm that takes off the password ( his words)

    Anyone have any idea what this "algorithm" might be? or Any other ways to remove a protect sheet Password?

    Thanks
