Okay so I have a password protected excel
file when I try to edit the Excel file
it gives me this error occurs saying that is protected
but I kinda wanna break into this and
open it up so what you have to do is
just close this down
I have it saved my desktop so I just
wanna do a new folder
and drag this into here and double click
on folder
so now you want to go to Organize > Folder and Search Options
view and then scroll down a little bit
you'll see hide extensions for known
file types
want this unchecked and then hit apply so
right now you'll see that the extension
is .xlsx
we're just gonna change this to
.zip then hit enter. It going to ask you if you want to
change it say yes, now its a zip file
you can open that up I'm using JZip
you can use any kind
archive program that you want to use
click Excel Folder > Worksheets > Sheet one
is the one I want to open up so im going to do open up with
notepad and this is giving me
I'm all the code for that sheet its
im gonna do word wrap, so what you wanna look for is
something that says like password
protection or sheet protection
so its right here sheet protection password
this isnt actually the password so you
can't use this
to open up the document but what we can do
is just a delete it
and then save the file
close it down. Hit Yes
close it down and we are gonna change this back
to the .xlsx
and hit okay. yes , now if I open up again
Its still protected so you just have to go
to the review and click
unprotect sheet so now i can open it up
edit in here and that's it your all good
to go
