Hello!
Bypassing Information Rights Management (IRM) is not recommended as it is a security feature designed to protect sensitive information. However, if you have a legitimate reason to bypass it, here are some possible options:
1. Ask the owner of the Excel file for permission to access it. They can grant you the necessary permissions through the IRM settings.
2. If you have access to another computer that has the necessary IRM permissions, you can try opening the Excel file on that computer and saving it without IRM protection. Then, you can transfer the file to your own computer and open it without IRM restrictions.
3. You can try using a third-party IRM bypass tool, although we don't recommend doing so as it can be risky and may violate security policies.
It's important to note that attempting to bypass IRM without authorization can be a violation of company policies and may have legal consequences. It's always best to follow proper channels and ask for the necessary permissions.
