You can try this direct VBA approach which doesn't require HEX editing. It will work for any files (*.xls, *.xlsm, *.xlam ...).
Tested and works on
Excel 2007
Excel 2010
Excel 2013 - 32 bit version.
Excel 2016 - 32 bit version.
Looking for 64 bit version? See http://stackoverflow.com/a/31005696/4342479
how it works
I will try my best to explain how it works - please excuse my english.
Excel will call a system function to create the password dialog box.
If user enters the right password and click OK, this function returns 1. If user enters the wrong password or click Cancel, this function returns 0.
After the dialog box is closed, Excel checks the returned value of the system function
if this value is 1, Excel will "think" that the password is right, hence the locked VBA project will be opened.
The code below swaps the memory of the original function used to display the password dialog with a user defined function that will always return 1 when being called.
using the code
Open the file(s) that contain your locked VBA Projects
Create a new xlsm file and store this code in Module1

Paste this code in Module2 and run it
