If your Excel file is locked with a password and you've forgotten it, don't worry, this happens to a lot of people. In this video, I'll show you a simple trick to unlock a protected Excel sheet without needing the password. In my case, the problem is only with the first sheet, named orders, while the other sheets are not password protected, so make sure you watch till the end to see exactly how I unlock it. First, make sure the Excel file is completely closed. Go ahead and locate the file on your computer We're going to change the file extension, so if you don't see .xlsx at the end of the file name, you'll need to enable file name extensions from the view menu at the top. If you're not sure how to do that, I've left another video explaining it in the pinned comment. Once you can see the extension, right-click the file and rename it. Remove .xlsx and change it to .zip. Now press enter or click with mouse. When Windows shows a warning message, just click Yes. This doesn't damage the file, it simply turns the Excel file into a compressed folder. Now open the zip file. Inside, go to the Excel folder and then open worksheets. Here, you'll see several XML files, and each one represents a sheet in your Excel file. Since my password is on the first sheet, I'll copy that file to my desktop. Next, right-click the copied file, choose Open with, and open it using Notepad. To make everything easier to read, turn on Word Wrap from the Format or the View menu. Then go to Edit, click Find, and search for the term Sheet Protect. Make sure you type it exactly as shown, including capital letter. When you find it, simply delete everything between the angle brackets, the part that starts with this, and ends with this. After that, save the file and close Notepad. Now drag the edited file back into the Zip folder and allow it to replace the original file. Once that's done, go back to the main folder. And rename the file again, changing .zip back to .xlsx. Now press enter or click with mouse. Confirm the warning message by clicking yes. Now let's open the excel file again. As you can see, I can type in the cells without any problem. The sheet protection is completely removed, and I can even set a new password if I want to. That's all for this video. I hope this was helpful, and thanks for watching.
