    How to get password prompt again without closing and re-opening workbook

    I have several formulas in my workbook that reference a separate password-protected workbook.
    When I open my workbook, I am prompted for the password for those references, but sometimes I mistype and the prompt closes.

    Is there a non-VBA way to get the password prompt to show up again after a mistyped password closes the password prompt? I would rather not have to close my workbook and re-open it just to get the prompt back.

    Thank you for the link, but I actually need to edit my workbook. So, opening in read-only is not an option.

    I've tried clicking on and recalculating one of my formulas that references the other password-protected workbook, which brings the password prompt back up. However, entering the password only works for that one cell and leaves the formulas in other cells uncalculated.

    I've figured out the obvious. I just need to go to Data -> Edit Links and update the values for links to the password-protected workbook. Password prompt comes up, all links are updated. Me was not smart.
