    I have an important (password protected) spreadsheet which I need to access, only problem is I have forgotten the password and can't find the post-it note where I wrote it Down (I know, I know).
    Anyone know how to get around this?
    I'm gonna be in the shit if I can't sort this out.
    :(

    Open office.org lets you unprotect most excel files


    it always works for those movie/tv/football quizes I get

    You'll get an excel password cracker on downloads.com, always works for me.

    It depends on the type of password,
    there are password crackers around but finding a free one could be hard
