Is it that Microsoft has patched this zip type method? Cause it says invalid or corrupted zip can't open.

If you cannot open the Excel file because it is password protected, you cannot insert a VBA module in that file. Very poor advice.

Hey, I'm not able to unlock my xls file... It gives an error of file corrupted which isn't true... Coz when i had given this to online decrypt website, they gave me the file look snapshot which is accurate... This itself means the file isn't a corrupt one... Kindly suggest

Zip method won't work with .xls files. I tried before with xlsx and it works just fine. When i open the protected file i press Alt + F11 and it won't open VBA. Sigh.

[@satyabhashsalgaonkar3550]

It does not work with complicated pass word, with 10 digits.

[@pradeepb7987]

When I try to unzip error show " the file is damaged" what can I do. I used winzip and 7 zip both.

[@wondersharerepairit8587]

Hi there, thank you for your question. If you encounter an error stating "the file is damaged" when trying to unzip a file with both WinZip and 7-Zip, it indicates there might be an issue with the file itself, or the download was not completed properly.

[@pradeepb7987]

My excel file is ok. but after converted the extension to .zip the error show.@@wondersharerepairit8587

password protected not working with zip system.. can't open file without password.

[@danfluegeman8234]

Apparently, that method only works with files from 2013 or earlier.

This doesn't work for Excel files that are encrypted with password.

[@danfluegeman8234]

Tried the zip file method first - no luck. Get messages that say "zip folder can't be opened because it's empty", or "zip folder is corrupted". Tried VBA editor next; finally figured out how to open the VBA editor, but where did you get the "provided code" that you copied and pasted into the module? Finally, tried the same online site that you used in the video. What you didn't make clear is that only weak passwords are free; strong passwords and brute-force are not (and this file is not worth the cost). At a loss as to what to do next.

[@crafty_tams]

Do a search on Google for the title of the macro and you’ll find the code. The guy who posted it years ago doesn’t even know where it’s from so unfortunately there is no credit to be given to the original person who came up with it.

[@wondersharerepairit8587]

Hi there, thank you for your question. It sounds like you've encountered a range of challenges while trying to remove a password from a Word document. The methods you've tried, including manipulating the ZIP file structure and using a VBA script, can sometimes work but are not foolproof and can encounter the specific issues you've described. Additionally, the limitations of free online tools, especially regarding stronger passwords, indeed make them less useful for more securely protected documents.

On this episode of how to get fired and prosecuted. Not good advice at all.
