    Angry Locked Workbook

    Hi Guys,

    I have an excellent workbook that is locked by password and I don't know the password.

    Is there any way at all that I can access it?


    There is hardly any data in it but I just need a couple of figures from it otherwise it wouldn't be an issue.


    I've googled it previously but I either can't follow the instructions properly or it just does't work.



    Any help or advice would be gratefully appreciated



    Many Thanks in advance...

    If you need a password just to open the file, then your out of luck.
    If you can open the workbook, but the sheets are protected, then it is against board rules to help.
