u can make changes in a protected worksheet only after u unprotect it. to unprotect a worksheet in ms excel click tool>protection>unprotect worksheet>enter (if it is password protected then enter d correct password and press enter) now it is ready to accept the change in each n every cell in the worksheet. some times cells are also protected by data validation if u want to make change in such kind of cell first remove d data validation this way go Data>Validation>clear validation>enter.

Hi,

You can't change the original file which is protected with password but you have another option. Copy the whole sheet using "Cntrl+A" and paste this to another sheet. If the file is not protected for formatting and structure then automatically excel unlocks the password.
