How To Recover Lost Microsoft Excel Password

excel password lost key Most of us backup our on-line or off-line transaction details in our hard disks for future use. And if the information contained in those files is very sensitive,then we have the option to lock the document with a password so that only the users who know the password can access the file. But what happens if we forget the password to those files we had backed up few months ago. How can we ever recover the password we actually forgot?

The information was stored in an Excel file and had no option other than to Google it and luckily I came across an excel password recovery article which provided me information on how to do it.
