z3bmw007 I don't know why this video has so many thumbs-down. If you know the password to get into the file, then this video clearly explains on how to remove that password. This video definitely helped me! Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial.

I agree. But maybe they were thumbing-down Microsoft itself, for the DUMBEST user interface you could imagine. Is there a Review -> Password menu option? No, that would be too obvious a place to put the password enabling/removal. So it's under Review -> Protect Workbook then? No, again, that would sort of make sense. So obviously Microsoft struck that one out. Nope, it's under Prepare -> Encrypt Document. But wait, isn't encryption a whole other level of security to simple password access? When people see the term "encryption", a simple password locked-door doesn't spring to mind; rather a complete alteration of the encoding of the underlying file structure. So that's where they put it - a place where no-one expects it!

what if I forgot the password

[@mannysebold8122]

This won't work out for those who forgot the password! The user just won't be able to open the protected Excel file without the password. So if you forgot an Excel password for opening, you'll have to use some password recovery program. There are plenty of them on the web, but in my experience, online services, e.g. "Password-find", are the most effective, so try googling something like "online excel password recovery"
