There's no way to do apart from brute force guessing passwords (you can try a password dictionary for that).

The common method on google (and the link EY1 posted) only works for internal passwords that prevent you to edit cell/copy stuff/etc, but if you try to open the file and it already asks you the password, you need to go for brute force - ain't no way you're breaking Windows encoding

What’s the symbol that you can type in a cell so you can input a text, but that text would not appear in the spreadsheet? I want to describe the formula without using a text box, which uses more space.

The equivalent of this is in SQL, you can use the apostrophe in the beginning of and end of a text. That text will not affect the function of the query, but that text can be seen if you proofread the query.
