[comp.windows.ms] Excel password protected files: help!

ce202a2@prism.gatech.EDU (Peter L. Thomas, AE) (01/08/91)

About four months ago I encrypted some sensitive Excel worksheets; well I just
came back to look something up in them, and my memory failed me!  Can anyone
give me a hand in retrieving these files?  A company called ADRS sells a
package to recover your passwords--for $185 plus shipping.  That's $200
dollars I don't have.  They'll also do a "one time" decryption for you for
$35. . .well, this starving student can't even manage that.  What I do have
is patience and programming skills; so even if your solution involves some
hacking around, I'm not afraid to try it out.

Anyone?  Anyone?
