Why does this problem happen, and how does this tool fix it?
Some workbooks open normally but cannot be edited because edit protection—not file encryption—is enabled.
How it works and protects your data: Never decrypts files, guesses passwords, or recovers passwords. Password-encrypted files are rejected, and fresh rights confirmation is required for every operation.
Frequently asked questions
Can this decrypt a file that asks for a password when opened?
No. Encrypted files are rejected; this only removes edit protection from readable XLSX files.
Who should use this tool?
Only the file owner or someone who has permission to modify that file.
