How to read in passworded excel files?

Hi,

 

I am trying to read in a directory of files. I believe they are not being read in because of the password on each file.

I am using the input data tool to read it. Ie \Alteryx\Community\*.xlsx

They all have the same password.

Is there a way to bypass this?

I am getting unable to open file to read error and assume it is because of the passwords.
