Because Sometimes We Forget...
|
Have you ever forgotten an Excel or VBA project password? Did an employee leave your company without handing over their password records? The unique, complex passwords used to protect critical files require a lot of effort to track, so it is easy to get locked out of your documents and interrupt your workflow.

Office Password Eraser is a portable, standalone Windows application (exe) developed in Embarcadero Delphi. It is not an Office add-in. Neither installation, nor Office are required.
The software can remove the following passwords from Excel 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 Open XML files (xlsx, xlsm, xltx, xltm, xlam), even in computers without Microsoft Office:
The software can remove the following passwords from Excel 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 Open XML files (xlsx, xlsm, xltx, xltm, xlam), even in computers without Microsoft Office:
- Workbook structure and Shared workbook protection
- Sheet protection (worksheet, chart, Excel 4.0 Macro, Excel 5.0 Dialog)
- Password-to-modify file
- Standard VBA protection
Do Not Be Forced To Enable Macros
Some Excel applications may work as designed only if VBA code can be executed. If macros are disabled, developers may want to prevent you from editing or even viewing the contents of a workbook.
Since there is no way to use VBA code to turn on macros, the method preferred by developers to ensure users have macros enabled, is to hide all sheets except a "Start" worksheet which instructs users to enable macros. These sheets are usually hidden using the veryHidden attribute, which prevents users from restoring sheet visibility using Excel's user interface. Only if users open the workbook with macros enabled, then all sheets will all be unhidden by a custom VBA procedure.
There may be times that you want to review or edit a workbook with disabled macros to avoid trigering VBA code.
Office Password Eraser can detect and show hidden and very-hidden sheets in seconds. There is no need to modify your macro security settings. Protected files are not opened in Excel!

What The Software Cannot Do:
- Binary XLSB or legacy XLS files must be saved as XLSX or XLSM file format before being unprotected.
- The file-to-open password cannot be cracked due to advanced AES encryption used by Excel 2007 or later. Click the Encryption Report button to verify whether a workbook is encrypted.
Workbook, sheet and VBA passwords cannot be removed from encrypted files (locked with a file-to-open password) until files are saved decrypted using a known password.
- Unviewable and custom protected VBA projects cannot be unlocked to safeguard the intellectual property of software publishers.
The only exception are workbooks with unviewable VBA that have been shared using the 'Protect and Share Workbook' button under the Review ribbon tab, as Shared passwords can be removed.
Feature Summary
Support For Strict XLSX Spreadsheets (ISO 29500)
The Strict variant of Excel's XLSX Open XML file format (ECMA-376 Editions 2-4) excludes a variety of elements and attributes that are permitted in the default Transitional variant (ECMA-376 Edition 1). The markup for the Strict variant is essentially a subset of markup for the Transitional format.
|
The Strict variant of XLSX was introduced during the standardization in ISO/IEC 29500 with the intention of excluding features included in ECMA-376 Edition 1, that were present simply to handle bugs and features of earlier spreadsheet applications.
A notable difference between the Strict and the Transitional file format is that legacy techniques for protecting workbooks and their contents are not allowed in XLSX Strict. Read about Excel's strong protection here. Excel 2010 can read, but not write, Strict spreadsheets using OOXML Strict converter for Office 2010. Office Password Eraser supports password removal from Strict Excel Spreadsheets created or saved by Office 2013+ and Office 365. |

Enterprise Features
VBA code (unlocked or protected with a normal password) in Excel workbooks can be reviewed with the enterprise version of Password Eraser without having to open files in Office.
This may be useful, if you suspect that the code may be malicious or you want hastily to review a project before executing macros. VBA code can be saved in a single file (.vba extension) or opened in Visual Studio Code editor.
Note: VS Code (Microsoft) and ClamAV (Cisco) should be installed. Both are free software
