About this tool
Remove password protection from an .xlsx file you already know the password for.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know the password already?
Yes — this removes protection using the correct existing password; it doesn't crack or guess unknown passwords.
Does this work on .xls (older format) files?
This tool is built for the modern .xlsx format — convert older .xls files to .xlsx first if needed.
