Download This Free Excel Password Remover That Actually Works!
You have to be careful when downloading free tools from the internet. What may seem like a great deal could actually put your computer at risk, and many of these tools rarely work properly without requiring paid upgrades or licenses.
Some tools found online may install spyware, adware, or other malicious software on your computer. Still, these offers can seem tempting, especially when they appear useful for business tasks.
For example, how often have you forgotten the password to your Excel workbook or worksheet? Work can quickly come to a halt while you search for a way to regain access. It happens to the best of us. Businesses that rely on managed IT services in Akron often work with IT professionals who can recommend safe tools and help prevent security risks caused by unreliable downloads.
Luckily we found some free tools that ACTUALLY work, AND are infection free! We’re always on the lookout for useful and safe tools our clients can leverage to save time and increase efficiencies for their business:
Remove Excel Workbook or Worksheet Passwords
The first program we recommend is by Straxx, called Excel Password Remover. It’s effective in removing workbook or worksheet passwords, but can’t remove full file protection (see our recommendation below). Excel Password Remover is compatible with Excel 97 through 2010 on Windows computers. If you’re on a Mac, you can purchase the PRO version. It can remove passwords of any length, and even works with passwords containing special characters.

Remove Excel File Passwords
If you need to remove full file protection (i.e. you can’t open the file) we recommend using Excel Password Recovery Lastic by PasswordLastic. A demo is available for download, but it’s a licensed program and requires purchase for full functionality.
Excel Password Recovery Lastic is compatible with MS Excel 97-2013 and will recover or remove passwords from the file(s) you need to open.
