yeah
hi guys today I'm gonna show you a
really cool trick and that i learned
through the day and it's if you have a
situation where you want to get to
someone's code in the visual basic
editor but you don't know the password
and I need yeah and she just locked it
down
all this will do is actually you'll be
able to that you the visual basic code
first of all open the project what is
very important these save our hands
I'm going to put this on my desktop
it's very important that you save it was
an excel 97 2003 workbook as it sort of
selective but you don't have to drop it
down so you know they're not bored all
replace existing mom
ok so that's now saved and i would
recommend doing that in a way to make a
copy of the original file could see if
you do use it in the hex editor as a
burger on your cropped the original
we're bored
ok so now what I need to use is I need
to go find my ex editor so I've got my
stored as an application x the I 32
i'll give you the length of that in the
in the collinsville
so what we need to do is open the new
court documents stored on to the desktop
for loop ok i'm sure in violation
shut it down square so let's go back is
open
you can see and just extend the full
screen this is a section where you need
to search for specific text string so
i'm going to press ctrl that I want it
is a heck string wanted to take string
of that younger on the tix case instead
of in case you make a mistake but the
texts you're looking for is d down to
Papa brother
click OK it's purely simple as they
relate to X to change the big to X so
madness save that close it down
reopen mind document
and an error message European project
file to the contains an invalid key
DPX continually project click yes
right ok so here it is very important
that you go into the visibility
basically so control and monitor all or
without your time so makes great error
because we changed the code
so what you need then there is going to
visual basic properties in your visual
basic concept by right clicking on the
project you want to put and as you can
see this is my projects protection .
project from viewing
you cannot talk with that what is
important is you set a new password
i'm going to put one two three four my
new password
I'm going to hit save and exhale that
and hit save again I'm going to exit out
and reopen
ok so now if i go ctrl f11 again this
will be locked down
but now about also momentum i define
possible which wanted two three four
as you can see this unlocks the project
all the codes contained she won so then
you can copy the code as you will
and just thought i was a cool trick
