Remove file password from Excel

[Dallascisco]

One of my users has brought me a file she put a password on way back when and now doesn't remember it (of course). Does anyone know of a way to remove an excel file level password that is free?

I don't know that I would even trust a free one unless it was offered by a name company. Seems too convenient of a way to infect a system.

It is possible with VBA.
