  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.
