I'm afraid not Homer. When you password protect a spreadsheet in Excel, it warns you that passwords cannot be recovered. Best bet is for that person to remember it.
I don't know of any, but there may be some other way  .

Copy everything and paste it into a new spreadsheet.

I am afarid that your only choices are to remember the password or pay a service to retrieve it, google the idea and there are lots of business' that can do it, of course then the question is how much is this worth to you? (one place charged 45.00 for their software) and is this sometrhing we/I can discuss here.
Just a wild and crazy idea, but do the open office products preserve this part of a spread sheet?

Which version of excel?
In excel2000, it should open as a read-only. |

it is excel 2000... it won't allow you into the workbook at all without a password.
