hi my name is Jay in this video I'm
gonna show you how to break the Excel or
potassium password if I go into the
detail I want to point out that so in
Excel there's different type of password
protection and there's the washy
protection that basically lock the
individual worksheet and then this excel
file protection if we go to save us and
browse and under the tools and if we go
to it on general options and there's the
our excel level of password protection
basically a user needs the the password
to open the excel file and then there's
the show then this the oppression layer
so basically that will lock the
structure of the Excel workbook to our
disabled and user to add or delete or
move worksheets so I know my excel file
is would poop attached assuming that if
I try to move the file rename the file
or even higher on high I'm not able to
as you can see I'm trying to drag the
file and overpower my able to do so in
putting in de you forget your password
and you can't even use VBA so if I'm
trying to go into the the VBA window and
I'm trying to main only making the
- making a heading and I'm
communicating this TBL de I'm able to
set the visible property of the oshi
class and so to break the what level of
password protection and so first thing I
want to do is I'm going to close this
excel file and I'm going to open the
folder of the folder that has the excel
file save and here's the other file so
I'm going to
made this icon with a bigger view large
icon I'm going to so before you begin I
will begin I'm going to make a copy just
in case that if I corrupt the excel file
I know that I have a copy to to return
to the original state and next you want
to change the file extension to zip
so Jackie file and I'll basically
convert the excel file to a zip file and
open the zip file so that I should gives
you all the structural excel file as
well as it solves the XML file that make
up the excel structure and you want to
go into site and go back I want to go
into the our Excel folder so stand for
Excel folder and I'm the data you want
to look for the word put XML file and
copy this file in and pay somewhere else
and grab a notepad so open this window
pad I'm using notepad plus plus and we
open the XML file this one is going to
look like and you want to look for a tag
called lock structure if you Excel will
put its structure is password protect
then you're going to the values gonna be
one so what you want to do is want to
know very bad to zero that means to
remove the password and safe I'm going
to close the note D notebook and and
what you want to do is want to replace
the XML file and with the XML file
inside this zip file ok and once on
finish and change the the file extension
from the IP to excel as X
in fact using a macro enable file you
want to rename the extension as xlsm I'm
going to name astragal excel file and
now when you are open the file again and
Knable
the connection and so one red clip as
you can see all the structures are not
available for you to know for you to to
do important to move the file or rename
the file you are now able to do so and
if we go back to file as you can see the
workbook structure has no protection has
now been removed and so I space it so I
