Worksheet \ Cell protection

How do I unprotect cells when the person setting the password has left the company?

RE: Worksheet \ Cell protection

Hi Jayne,

Thank you for your question.

As far as I am concerned and aware of, there is no way of recovering their password.

Unfortunately, you will have to copy the whole sheet into another workbook and then re-create your own worksheet protection password.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Make a quick copy of a worksheet

Hold down the Ctrl key, then click and drag on a sheet tab to make a copy of that sheet. Though this process usefully copies the formats of the original sheet, note that any Range Names you have on the original sheet will be duplicated too.

To make a copy of a worksheet's contents and formats without duplicating range names: (1) Ensure that you have a blank worksheet to paste to. (2) On the sheet to copy, click on the sheet selection square to the left of Column A's heading to select the whole sheet. (2) Copy the whole sheet. (3) Paste to the blank worksheet.
