How to crack Excel password protection?

[peeler_feeler]

OK,

This one is for the hackers out there. I have saved an excel file two years ago and password protected it. I cannot remember the password and tried some software to crack it. No luck.

Any suggestions.

Not easy

Excel password protection is difficult to crack. There are third-party products available but they cost several hundred dollars.

This site can get you started...http://www.forensics-intl.com/breakers.html

Your best bet is to rack your mind for the password.

If this does not work, maybe someone out there already has the software or knows a hack for it.

Zog.

One thing that you might try with the caps lock on. You may have had it on accidentally while entering the password in the first place. Other than that, try some of the password sniffers already mentioned.
