If you forget the password of the workbook or worksheet, is there an alternative way to open it?

=== You can try one of the following solutions to reopen your Excel worksheet again: ==A- Password Variation: -- in case of incorrect password typing (due to CAPS LOCK turned on) or you remember the approximate appearance of the password but fails to recall it in detail, -- you have to take the approximate password and test every possible variant, such as case changes (password -> PASSWORD, Password, PAssword, pASSWORD etc), omission of one of the characters, doubling characters, inserting or replacing the character with the neighboring characters and so on.
-- Usually the number of combinations is not very large and it is possible to test them all in a little time.
==B- "Fake" Password Creation -- By creating a "fake password", that is different from the original one (and it usually looks quite odd), but it can be used instead of the original password.
-- You can use it to remove the protection from the document or to change the existing password.
-- Unfortunately, you can’t determine the original password this way (the only exception is the case when the password is very short and some additional conditions are met).
-- If you have several documents protected with the same password, you’ll be able to use the same fake password to unlock all of them.
-- The fake password is likely to contain very exotic character combinations and if you make a mistake typing it you won’t be able to use it.
Therefore, fake passwords should be typed very accurately (better use the clipboard).
