    Macro to unlock the protected workbook

    Hi,

    I have spreadsheet. Inside it, there are a few of sheets are protected. People can't insert/delete row. The coworker for this excel suddenly quit and no one know the password.

    We can open the spreadsheet and we have 3 department also using the spreadsheet. I google how to unlock the protected excel, I find following macros. Now, I can insert/delete rows. However, other department manager think this is unsecurity to use macro from untrusted source.

    May I ask is there any macro can find the password of protected excel. So that I can pass the password to other department to unlock .

    Sorry that my question may be little bit strange. Thanks for your help.


    Macro to unlock protected worksheet (However, as you press the button of Protected workbook , it still pop up the window to ask for your password).
