I've lost my password!
Well, there are passwords and there are passwords.
- One is to open the file;
- one other is to unprotect the [gs worksheet];
- still another is to unprotect the [gs workbook];
- yet another one is to unprotect the Excel VBA [gs macro] code.
File and VBA passwords cannot be cracked by a "normal macro", [gs workbook] and [gs worksheet] passwords are fairly easy. A search for "excel password" at http://www.google.com/ will find both commercial and free solutions of varying quality and brutality.
