Just changed jobs and have now gone back to more of an IT based job.

Anyway approx 10 years since I opened some of my files in Word and Excel and
low and behold some of them are password protected.

Obviously I have all the files on discs but am unable to access them.

Is there a way around this?

If there is how do you do it?

Any help would be greatfully appreciated as some of the calculations done
previously in excel were done over a couple of weeks not just hours.

Thanks in advance
