Are you saying the file requires the password to open it? If so, and you are
the legit author, post a link to download the file. Add your email address to
the file's Properties before uploading it so it can be emailed directly to you.

Default Lost password for password protected Excel file

I have a macro I found a long time ago for unlocking Excel workbooks, don't think it works on the VBA window if that's password protected but it does work on the excel sheet.

found it on http://blog.yodalearning.com/2016/05...cel-using-vba/

hope this helps
