Default Can anyone here crack a passworded Excel spreadsheet file?

I have an Excel spreadsheet file that has a password, I want to edit it but i forgot the password. There are demo's out there of excel password recovery programs but only do passwords of 3 characters or shorter. Any help is appreciated. I will send you the file. Thanks.

sometimes if u save it as a new file name in a different folder you can "get around" the pswrd protection"
sometimes it works, sometimes not.
you might have to go into properties and edit a few things. but i've pulled it off before.

u might be able to go around it the long way.
create a new file and copy/paste the formulas over to the new file (pita)
