How to Remove Password from VBA Code in Excel
If you have forgotten the password for your VBA code in Excel, you can remove it by following these steps:
- Open the Excel file that contains the VBA code for which you want to remove the password.
- Press ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
- In the VBA editor, go to the “Tools” menu and select “VBAProject Properties” (or right-click on the project name in the Project Explorer and choose “Properties”).
- In the Properties window, navigate to the “Protection” tab.
- Clear the “Lock project for viewing” checkbox.
- Click on the “OK” button to save the changes.
- Close the VBA editor by clicking the “X” button or pressing ALT + Q.
After following these steps, the VBA code in your Excel file will no longer require a password to view or modify.
Note: Removing the password from VBA code should only be done if you are the rightful owner of the file or have proper authorization to do so.
Example:
Let’s say you have an Excel file named “MyWorkbook.xlsx” with VBA code protected by a password. By removing the password using the steps mentioned above, you can freely view and modify the VBA code without needing a password.
