If you have ever encountered an Excel file that is password-protected and need to remove that password, you are not alone. Whether you forgot the password or received a file with password protection, there are ways to remove the password and access the data within the file. Here are the steps to remove a password from an Excel file:

• Open the password-protected Excel file.
• Click on File and select Info.
• Click on Protect Workbook and choose Encrypt with Password.
• Delete the current password and leave it blank.
• Click OK and save the file.
• Your Excel file should now be password-free.

It is important to note that removing a password from an Excel file that you do not own or are not authorized to access is illegal and unethical. Always ensure you have the right permissions before attempting to remove passwords from files.
