Password Breaker Macro

This VBA code attempts to break the password protection on a worksheet by systematically trying all possible 6 character combinations of letters and numbers as the password. It uses nested For loops to iterate through all characters from ASCII codes 65 to 66 (A to Z) and 32 to 126 (space to ~) for each of the 6 password positions. If the Unprotect method succeeds without an error, the password that worked is displayed in a message box.
