Excel files with password protection are often used to safeguard important data. However, if you’ve forgotten the password to unlock an Excel file, it can be a frustrating experience. In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to unlock Excel files with a password.

Step 1: Open the Excel File

The first step is to open the Excel file that you want to unlock. Simply double-click on the file to open it in Microsoft Excel.

Step 2: Go to File

Once the Excel file is open, navigate to the top-left corner of the window and click on the “File” tab. This will open a drop-down menu.

Step 3: Select Open

In the drop-down menu, select the “Open” option. This will open a file explorer window that allows you to browse and select the Excel file you want to unlock. Locate the file and click on “Open.”

Step 4: Choose Open and Repair

After selecting the Excel file, you will see a dialog box with various options. Choose the “Open and Repair” option, which is usually located at the bottom right of the dialog box.

Step 5: Click on “Repair”

A new dialog box will appear, asking if you want to repair the file. Click on the “Repair” button to initiate the repair process. This may take a few moments depending on the size and complexity of the Excel file.

Step 6: Enter the Password

If the repair process is successful, you will be prompted to enter the password to unlock the Excel file. Enter the password that you previously set for the file and click on the “OK” button.

Step 7: Save the Unlocked File

Once you have entered the correct password, the Excel file will be unlocked. To ensure you don’t get locked out again, we recommend saving the file with a new name or removing the password protection entirely. To do this, go to the “File” tab, select “Save As” from the drop-down menu, and save the file with a new name and location.

Congratulations! Your Excel File is Unlocked

You have successfully unlocked your Excel file using the step-by-step guide above. Remember to keep your passwords secure and use them responsibly. If you’re unable to remember your passwords, consider keeping them in a password manager to avoid these situations in the future.
