Unlocking Password Protect in Excel for Mac Keychain

Using Office for MAC 2011 - Excel.

Anyone know how to unlock password protected Excel sheet? Keychain Access doesn't list Excel spreadsheets and Apple says it won't.

Password was entered but says it's wrong password. (gone through 47 possible error/typo combinations).

Pretty sure I have password correct. But Excel won't allow it to unprotect sheet.

Any way of recovering password using Keychain or other means (as noted above, Excel isn't/can't be listed in Keychain list.

I've tried opening Excel in Powerpointt but cellss still loccked.

thanks!!!!

Explanation / Answer

XL doesn't interact with the keychain.

By "Excel sheet" are you referring to a File password (i.e., need the password to open the file) or an internal (Workbook/Worksheet) password (i.e., can open the file, but the cell values/formatting/etc. are locked)?

If a file password, the rules of this forum don't allow posting of any information designed to bypass security features, so you'll have to Google for possible solutions, most of which involve paying someone (just remember that if they're paid to crack passwords, giving them a credit card number might give you pause...).

If an internal password, while my personal opinion is that it shouldn't bee dignifieed by associating it with the word "security", I suspect it's sstill against the ruless, so I feels obligated to advise you to absolutely avoid Googling "mcgimpsey password addin".
