Excel Sheet (password protected) is not opening

An important Excel document that is password protected keeps causing Excel to shut down after I enter the password. I tried opening with NEO OFFICE but since it's password protected, NEO won't open it. How do I turn off the password in Excel so NEO can open it? I assume thew file has become corrupt.

since Office is not an Apple product. You'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on Mac/Windows compatibility.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

Excel sheet - password protection

Hi,
we have a requirement that we want to set 'read' password on excel sheet through java program. Any body who wants to see the content should provide password to open the excel file.
We looked at open sources such as JExcel, POI. Looks like, they are not providing 'read' passpord protection feature. JExcel supports write password but does not support 'read' password.
Did anybody face this kinda requirement? any suggestions? Is there any other solution ?
thanks in advacne,

Password protected files not opening with acrobat reader 9

I receive text file embedded in a PDF which is password protected. I just changed my comp from Vista to Windows 7 64 Bit and got the reader 9 duly updated. Earlier I was using reader 7 and the files used to work and open. Now they do not open and their is a big PIN mark on giving the password. The following message is displayed "Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened" the file type is ZIP. Please help

But it did work on windows vista with reader 7. If it is not at all possible then
my question is can I uninstall reader 9 and install reader 7.
will it work on windows 7 64 bit

Excel download Password Protected

Hi Guru's,
I need to Download an Excel with Password Protected. User should be in a position to read the data without entering the password. If he wants to change the data then the file should prompt for a password. Currently I am using the below mentioned code but the file is asking for password even to view the data.
Code :
create object e_appl 'EXCEL.APPLICATION'.
set property of e_appl 'VISIBLE' = 0.
* Open the file
call method of e_appl 'WORKBOOKS' = e_wbooklist.
get property of e_wbooklist 'Application' = e_appl .
set property of e_appl 'SheetsInNewWorkbook' = 1 .
call method of e_wbooklist 'Add' = e_work .
get property of e_appl 'ActiveSheet' = e_sheet .
set property of e_sheet 'Name' = 'Test' .
field_value = sy-index.
    shift field_value left deleting leading space.
clear field_value.
*1.Action
    concatenate 'Action' field_value into field_value separated by space.
* Position to specific cell in Column 1
    call method of e_appl 'Cells' = e_cell
           exporting
*                #1 = sy-index
                #2 = 1.
* Set the value
    set property of e_cell 'Value' = field_value.
** Close the file
get property of e_appl 'ActiveWorkbook' = e_work.
   call method of e_work 'SAVEAS'
        exporting
            #1 = p_file
            #2 = 1
            #3 = 'password'
            #4 = 'password'.
call method of e_work 'close'.
* Quit the file
call method of e_appl 'QUIT'.
* Free them up

Hi Pranav,
I commented the code as you suggested, but still its not working. It asks for the password to just read the file.
Please help me on this.
get property of e_appl 'ActiveWorkbook' = e_work.
   call method of e_work 'SAVEAS'
        exporting
            #1 = p_file
            #2 = 1
           #3 = 'password'.     "Password is for opening
            #4 = 'password'.       "Password is for changing the contents
call method of e_work 'close'.
Quit the file
call method of e_appl 'QUIT'.
Free them up
free object e_cell.
free object e_sheet.
free object e_work.
free object e_wbooklist.
free object e_appl.
Thanks & Regards,

Password manager will not open

password manager will not open in Firefox 4.0.1

Benn, your password is not what you think it is.
This is common for users who might have some numbers or UPPER case characters in their password, you might think your pressing the ALT key for a second number, but your're not.
For example, if you think your password is '1234', you press ALT + 1234, and the password could really be '1ers'. Look at your device keyboard and see what I mean.
If you can figure that out, you'll be good to go.
If you can't, go reset your password on the device to something very simple all lower case letters for now, like tgfr' and then connect to the DM ok.
But your mistake is a common one for people who never plug their device into the Desktop, and all of sudden the password doesn't work.

If you are (ugh!) referring to Symantec's Anti-Virus software for the Mac, this when installed runs behind the scenes and does not require the application to be open all the time. Therefore the solution might be to not run it at login at all. That will certainly 'hide' it.
[Why don't Apple have an emoticon for retching? I don't know which is worse Symantec or McAfee.]
Typically you just get a small symbol in the menu bar near the clock to show it is installed and active. This certainly was the case when I was unfortunately required to use it at one organisation, it is also true for most if not all other makes, e.g Sophos.

Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

Passworded Excel 97-2003 file will not open in excel 2013

I can not open a file that I have saved as a passworded 97-2003 excel file using excel 2013. When opening the file, it will ask for the password, I put in the password in, and excel freezes and then has to clkose because it will not open the file.
The file is NOT corrupt and will open on my computer with Office2007. I can actually create a passworded file with excel 2013 but save it as a 97-2003 version, but when I try to open that file it will not open either?
Please explain to me how I am suppose to get the information off my 97-2003 file on this excel 2013 version??????
AGAIN the file is not corrupt and I don't want to open my file with my 2007 version machine, I want this passworded 97-2003 file to open with my excel 2013 machine!!!!!!!
Please send me a fix to this, and I've check the forum. None of the work around options work. NONE, I've checked them all.
This only appears to be a problem with a passworded 97-2003 file. If it's not passworded it opens.

Can I use Power Query to Import a table from Excel sheet range which starts not from the top row?

Hi,
Being an experienced Excel user before Power BI, I am just starting to explore the M and Power Query capabilities, and need help already (ain't easy to google this use case somehow):
I need to import the table which sits in the Excel file with header row in the row 17 of Excel sheet, with some metadata header in the preceding rows of the columns A and B.
01: Report name, Quick Report
02: Report Date, 1/1/2014
17: Employee Name, Manager, etc...
18: John Doe, Matt Beaver, etc.
Both (a) direct attempt to load as Excel file and (b) the indirect way through [From Folder] and formula in custom column -- both lead to the same error: "[DataFormat.Error] External table is not in the expected format."
Specifically, I tried to use the [Power Query -> From File -> From Folder] functionality, select an Excel file and add a custom column to access the binary content: [Add Custom Column] with formula "=Excel.Workbook([Content])".
It looks like Power Query expects a rectangular range with headers full-width followed by a contiguous table range to import anything, and refuses to load if that is not the case...
QUESTION: Is there any way to load whatever-formatted data from Excel first, and then manipulate the overall imported range (like referring to rows starting from 17th using "Table.SelectRows" etc.) to read the actual data? Reading and using
the metadata from header would be a bonus, but that comes second... The main issue is to get something from a non-regular Excel file to later work with using M formulae ...
Thanks!
SAM

Finally found the answer to this one in ():
You Cannot Open a Password-Protected Workbook
If the Excel workbook is protected by a password, you
cannot open it for data access, even by supplying the correct password with
your connection settings, unless the workbook file is already open in the
Microsoft Excel application. If you try, you receive the following error
message:
Could not decrypt file.
ANSWER: So, will have either weave in the work with temporary unprotected files or requires opening them before updating the data source (although this almost defeats the purpose of automation...)
ANSWER to ORIGINAL QUESTION: password was preventing Power Query from reading the Excel file. For solution see above.
Thanks anyway for participation and inspiration, Imke!

Convert Excel into Password Protected PDF Files

Hello Aandi/Lenoard,
I believe you are the Adobe Forums administrators so I thought you guys are the right people to approach.
OTHERS ARE ALSO INVITED TO COMMENT ON THIS TOPIC.
I have C# desktop app which generates Excel files and our goal is to convert these excel files one at a time into password protected PDF files. We use a 3rd party software currently, but I am challenging myself into saying that I can use Adobe Acrobat 9.0 SDK to achieve what is required .
I have downloaded Acrobat 9.0 SDK and also have Adobe Professional 8.0(trail) in my development machine. Can you firstly tell me if this is possible and secondly what would be required on the client machines to run it?
THanks,
Andy

"Encrypt with Password" is the policy name, not the policy id.
Did you try enumerating the policy object to see how to set it up? I ran this from the console to get the policy details:
var policy = security.chooseSecurityPolicy();
for ( var i in policy )
console.println(i + ": " + eval("policy." + i));
That will pop up your list of policies. Choose "Encrypt with Password" and hit Apply, which returned the following:
policyId: SP_STD_default
name: Encrypt with Password
description: This policy will allow you to set an open or modify password on a document.
handler: Adobe.Standard
target: document
Of course, all you really need are the policyId, handler and target. Make sure you read and thoroughly understand the security requirements documented in the API reference for this method as well.
