Excel password breaker

One of the things I can't stand at work is working on a spreadsheet that has a bunch of macros, gadgets, and all these functions but it seems to break and you can't fix it because it is password protected. Yea its probably there for good reason as to not have everyone messing around with how the sheet works. It becomes a pain to me when it prevents your team members from adding useful features that could possibly be useful, that just seems like someone ensuring job security to me. I guess I'm more of an open source person, I like to share the scripts I build with the team so they could add to them and make them better.... but that's a whole other story.

Anyhow, this is a macro for a password breaker in excel and there's nothing to pay for. Just cut and paste in to the macro editor and save. Voila!!! Then you can run the macro on any sheet you want to open.
