How to Remove a Password Protected Cell

1. Open Microsoft Excel. Open the Excel spreadsheet file from within Excel.
2. Find the security options in Excel. It will most likely be in the 'Tool' menu under 'Options.' Look under the 'General' tab and the 'Security' tab if there is one. Look for password settings.
3. In the password protect field select the asterisks and then the delete button. There may be a second password field for modifications, if so delete that password as well. You may be required to enter the password before you can delete the old password.
4. Exit out of the menu choices. Select the cell that was password protected and then delete the cell.
