Accessing a protected file

[berny]

I've just stumbled across a project I did in VBA back when I was at college 6 years ago.
I really want to have a look at it, the trouble is...its password protected. With a password that I probally specifically designed to be super hard to break to meet the syallabus requirements of knowing what makes a strong password- its not one I'd normally use myself and I've no way of finding out what it is.

I hope I'm breaking no rules here, I'm doing nothing illicit. But does anyone know of any ways to 'hack' the password and break into my file?
At least to see my code if not the actual content (the content isn't important at all, its my old code that interests me)

Your intentions might well be honourable, but please don't ask here how to hack passwords.
It's against the Forum Rules, which I take you have read.
