Ever solve a problem, then 6 months later need to solve it again but don’t recall how you solved it previously? That is the sort of housekeeping I’m doing with this post. I make no guarantee that the site or tool mentioned below is safe/secure for your use. Always take necessary precautions.

And do this all on an expendable system. [excel password crack unprotect]
