Forgot Excel Spreadsheet Password
Is there a way to find out the password on an Excel Spreadsheet? I know there is code to do this for an Access Database, so I was hoping there would also be a way to get the Excel password...

TISS - Note the following with Antrat's suggestion though.
Unregistered version shows the password which contain 3 charactrs
or less, and the hex representation is not shown at all. To get
passwords of any length (in ASCII and hex forms), please consider
purchasing the full version.
If the file is not a Excel document, or created in newer version
of Microsoft Excel (Excel 97 or Excel 2000), or doesn't have the
password at all, an appropriate message will be displayed. To
recover passwords for Excel 97/2000 documents, please use
"Advanced Excel 97 Password Recovery" program which is available
at:
http://www.elcomsoft.com/prs.html
Please note that if the file you're recovering the password for
is created in non-English version of Microsoft Excel, AE95PR may
say that this document is not password-protected at all. If
you'll get such message, please send us your file -- we'll
recover the password for it manually, and build-in the support
for such files into the next versions of AE95PR.
