    Exclamation Corrupted excel file fix.

    Hello,

    I am new to this site. I did not find anything this fit under, so I am very sorry if this in the wrong section to post. I have an spreadsheet in a .xlsx format with a password on it. No other sites are helping because they all know the password and just want to disable it. I can't even look at the document, and I don't have the password. Nothing else is related to my case that I found, so I need help getting the password off. I use office 2010 for this file format. Please reply fast. I am good with computers and know a lot more than a lot of people, but please don't get technical on me, I'll get lost.

    Thanks for the help,
    Lennnny

    Re: Excel Help!!

    I'm asking if the file is corrupt.

    I got a password cracker, but it says the file is not protected.
    Has anyone had that happen?
    Is that a problem with the file, or the application.

    regarding this
    so I need help getting the password off.
    see post #2 of Etaf


    but it says the file is not protected
    so meaning the file is corrupted.

    Try Open Excel then from Excel choose open-> locate the drop down in the "Open" button you see difeirent options in opening the file -> choose " Open and Repair".
    let's see if it can repair the file.
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    Regards,
    Vladimir

    Re: Corrupted excel file fix.

    That won't do anything. If I open, it will not let me do anything until I enter a password, and if I open it in a zip or xls, it will try to repair if I tell it too, but will say,"Could not be recovered because the file is corrupted."

    Re: Corrupted excel file fix.

    I will try that repair, but an odd thing happened again. I made another file to test, still .xlsx and Excel 2010, and after a few days, it said my password was not correct. I have no idea why it would happen again, but I am not using a password on .xlsx ever again.

    Here is a test file based on a fake Pokemon company. Not personal. The password it had before it said it was wrong is "Maypokemon0".corrupted.zip
