28th September 2016 Remove password from XLSB VBA Project


This post describes how to remove easily the VBA Project protection inside an XLSB Excel Workbook.
...even if it is against my nice­guy ethics…

For first you must create a backup copy of your Workbook!!!

Then you have to rename the XLSB file with ZIP extension.

Test.XLSB => Test.ZIP

Opening your ZIP file using a compression software (e.g. WinRar) I can see the content of the file, structured in folders

Inside the folder xl you can find a binary file named vbaProject.bin.
Extract it on your desktop and edit it using a text editor. In my case I used Notepad++.

Using the Find function of your editor, you must search the text DPB

And replace the DPB string with DPx

Then save the vbaProject.bin and replace this file inside the .ZIP File, renaming then .ZIP file in XLSB.

Reopening the XLSB file using Excel, you will get an error message:

uu5btHQhI/AAAAAAAAA5w/H5d5k4ST­oEWSNHm­sAf3Fcn6nzefdD5wCLcB/s1600/Error1.PNG]

you have to answer Yes to this error message. Then Save, Close and Reopen your XLSB file.

Now, if you go to VBA Editor (ALT + F11), you can see and edit all project files.
