Dear Friends,

I created an Excel Worksheet containing valuable data a few months back and saved it with a password. Unfortunately I forgot the password and now I am unable to open that file. Is there any way of opening that Excel File.

Please advise

To make an excel sheet as password protected, Click on Save As and a new Pop-up will open.
In that pop-up there will be tool icon..click on that and there will be general option..
Set ur passord settings and save the file...So after that it was ask for password everytime.
