Removing a password Excel 2007

[simoniscool]

I created a spreadsheet and decided to password protect it. Later, I decided to just protect certain cells in certain worksheets and thought I would remove the workbook password. This has turned out to be harder than I thought.

I looked into Help and performed the following steps:

1.Use the password to open the spreadsheet.
2.Click the Microsoft Office Button , point to Prepare, and then click Encrypt Document.
3.In the Encrypt Document dialog box, in the Password box, delete the encrypted password, and then click OK.
4.Save the spreadsheet.

I still get this dialog when I open the spreadsheet:

Please help.

Thanks,
Steve

Well, apparently either no one here had any interest in this post or just didn't have a solution to the post. My impatience caused me to continue messing with the file and I finally found the solution.
It seems that I had the "file protected". In order to remove this protection, I performed the following steps:

1. "Save As" > "Excel Workbook"
2. Click on "Tools" and select "General Options"
3. Clear all passwords as shown below
4. Click on OK.
