How to remove protected VBA password

 For a .xlsm or .dotm file type you need to do it a slightly different way.

  1. Change the extension of the .xlsm file to .zip.
  2. Open the .zip file (with WinZip or WinRar etc) and go to the xl folder.
  3. Extract the vbaProject.bin file and open it in a Hex Editor (I use HxD, its completely free and lightweight.)
  4. Search for DPB and replace with DPx and save the file.
  5. Replace the old vbaProject.bin file with this new on in the zipped file.
  6. Change the file extension back to .xlsm.
  7. Open workbook skip through the warning messages.
  8. Open up Visual Basic inside Excel.
  9. Go to Tools > VBAProject Properties > Protection Tab.
  10. Put in a new password and save the .xlsm file.
  11. Close and re open and your new password will work.
