Unprotecting VBA Project via VBA code to change code

[Will Riley]

What are sendkeys, and how is it used?

Thank you

The basic advice given in this thread is NOT to use sendkeys

It is not a reliable method of coding

As Roy says, just type in the password.

If you know the password, then in THe VB Editor Tools menu, select
VBAProjectProperties>Protection. Then delete the password and uncheck the "Lock Project for Viewing" box.

Hi

I have forgotten the password, hence I dont have access.Please help.
Thank You

Remember guys if You do not know the password(s) then You are truly stuck - do not ask for any advise on this subject as OzGrid will not offer any help or advice on 'cracking' or 'hacking' that just would not be OzGrid

Hello all,

I found another way to unlock a VBE project, without using SendKeys.
I use Win32 API to find the correct windows and manipulate them.

The joined zip contents the VB6 source code. It's an Word 2000 version, but you can easily adapt it to Excel and/or in VBA ...

Don't forget to edit the MVBE.bas module to adapt it to your language (don't works if the windows caption are not correct).

The code is well commented in bad english (like this post ). So, sorry in advance ...

Have a fun

I have deleted this attachment. You are clearly asked not to post Code or tools to break any passwords. In fact it is Rule number 1

No requesting of help to break any passwords Questions asking to break Sheet Protection, Workbook Protection or VBE Protection will be deleted and could get you banned. Supplying code to enable this, will get you banned.

I would suggest that you read rhe rules & stick to them if you want to continue to use the Forum

Hi,

It's a misunderstanding. My code don't break any password.
It's just another way to define programmatically the password.

p.s.: i can reattach my source ?

Does the user need to know the Password to use your application?

Does the user need to know the Password to use your application?

Absolutely.
It's just a more secure way than SendKeys method to set the VBA project password programmatically.

providing it cannot be abused to crack passwords, then please attach again. I am sure you understand that we have to be careful.
