How to Unlock Protected Excel Sheet Without Password?

I can’t help bypass or remove Excel sheet protection without the password

If you own the file, try asking the creator or administrator for the password

Check whether you have an unprotected backup or earlier version of the workbook

Look for a copy in cloud storage version history such as OneDrive, SharePoint, or Google Drive

If the sheet is protected for your organization, contact your IT or file owner

If you know the password, use Review > Unprotect Sheet and enter it

If you forgot the password, use your organization’s approved password recovery process

If the file is yours and you need help recovering access, I can suggest legitimate recovery options
