RE: Help! I can not remember the password to an important Excel workb

Hi,

Regular viewers of this forum will have seen many requests like yours and
particularly pleas for help when passwords have been lost or stored in files
on a PC that have become corrupt. So FWIW my view is that just about the most
daft place possible to keep passwords is on your PC in any form but the
problem of remembering them does exist so my solution is quite simple and not
prone to systems failure.

I put them on a peice of paper which I look after cery carefully by keeping
it between the pages of the dictionary in my bookcase. I actually use the P
for password page of the dictionary and take the not unresaonable view that
there may be an attempt to hack my PC or rob from my office but it's
extremely unlikely the thief will want to read the dictionary while doing so.

I created a great workbook in a prior position that would be useful now.
However, I can't remember the password. Is there someway I can recover the
data or is the password encrypted somehow?
