question about reading an excel file that is password protected

I have been successfully using POI to read and write excel files for several months and things have worked well. I now have some files that are password protected that I would like to read, and I am not successful. I have the password and can read them directly in Excel by providing the password to the dialog box, but I can't figure out how to do that programmatically through the POI API. I have tried googling but I can't track down anything that clearly says how.

Any help would be appreciated.
