How To Find Vba Password In Excel

How to find VBA password in Excel:

If you have forgotten or lost the password for a VBA project in Excel, you can try the following methods to recover or remove it:

1. Utilize VBA Password Remover software: There are several third-party tools available online that can help you retrieve or bypass the VBA password. One such tool is ‘VBA Password Remover’.

   • Download and install the VBA Password Remover software on your computer.
   • Open the software and select the password-protected Excel file.
   • Click on the “Remove VBA Password” option.
   • Wait for the software to process the file.
   • Once completed, the VBA password will be removed, and you can access the VBA project without entering a password.

2. Use Macro code to remove the password: If you have basic knowledge of VBA programming, you can use a macro code to remove the password from the VBA project.

   • Open the Excel file with the password-protected VBA project.
   • Press ‘Alt + F11’ to open the VBA editor.
   • Click on ‘Insert’ and select ‘Module’ to insert a new module.
   • In the module window, paste the following macro code:

   Sub RemoveVBAProjectPassword()
       Dim VBProj As Object
       Dim WorkbookPath As String
       
       WorkbookPath = ThisWorkbook.FullName
       Set VBProj = ThisWorkbook.VBProject
       
       ' Update the VBA project password (replace "password" with the actual password)
       VBProj.VBProject.Password = "password"
       
       ' Save and close the workbook
       ThisWorkbook.Save
       ThisWorkbook.Close
       Workbooks.Open WorkbookPath
   End Sub

   • Replace the “password” part of the code with your actual VBA project password.
   • Run the macro by pressing ‘F5’ or clicking on the ‘Run’ button.
   • The VBA project password will be updated, and the workbook will be saved without the password.

Remember to always keep a backup copy of your Excel files before attempting to remove or recover VBA passwords.
