How to Remove Password from Excel File When Opening File

Removing Password from Excel File Step-by-Step

Protecting sensitive information in Excel files is crucial, but sometimes you may need to remove the password from a file you've forgotten or no longer need. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the password-protected Excel file.
2. Go to File > Info > Protect Workbook > Encrypt with Password.
3. Delete the existing password from the text box and click OK.
4. Save the file to remove the password protection.

It's important to note that removing the password this way only works if you know the current password. If you've forgotten the password, it may be more challenging to unlock the file without third-party software. Always keep passwords in a secure location to prevent such issues in the future.
