    Excel workbook now has protection requiring a password that I never set up


    A workbook that had multiple sheets now has only 1 showing, has protection from adding tabs and wants a passwword, when I never set protection and never set a password. I have an update that I can not get uninstalled, so guessing another code mess up that has changed something. How do I get my worktabs back?

    :)

    How to open password protected microsoft excel workbooks

    I have an Excel workbook with some password protected cells attached to an email.

    When I try to open it the message says "Excel can't open password-protected workbooks.

    I am using Windows Phone 7

    How do I open them?

    Thanks

    Excel can't open password-protected workbooks.

    I am running WP7 on the Dell Venue Pro, with T-mobile as a provider. I have tried repeatedly to open excel files from my email, which are from my corporate office, but I keep getting the same message: excel can't open password-protected workbooks. There
    is no password needed to open these files, however there are macros and protected cells within the sheets. One of the main reasons I chose WP7, was to open these documents. I previously had a Blackberry that gave a similar message, but when I received an excel
    upgrade to it, I was able to view them. Do I have to wait for an upgrade again or is there some fix to this problem?

    Thanks for any help!

    Excel workbook now has protection requiring a password that I never set up

    Password protected Excel file will not open in office 365

    How do you do it with Excel Online? I have an Excel Workbook that was created in my Excel 2013 desktop app and I get the same error message from Excel Online, "We couldn't open this workbook because it's protected with a password". For me, since I need
    to password protect so many Excel workbooks, it makes Excel Online worthless.
