Removing a password from a protected workbook is essential when you need to access or edit the document without any restrictions. Follow these steps to remove the password:

  1. Open the protected workbook in Excel.
  2. Go to the 'File' menu and select 'Save As'.
  3. Choose a location to save the workbook without the password protection.
  4. In the 'Save As' dialog box, click on the 'Tools' dropdown and select 'General Options'.
  5. Delete the password from the 'Password to open' or 'Password to modify' fields.
  6. Click 'OK' and then save the workbook. The password protection will be removed.

It's important to note that you will need to know the current password in order to remove it. If you have forgotten the password, you may need to use a third-party tool to unlock the workbook.
