    Re: Issue with Protect/Unprotect Macro

    Here's a suggestion,

    insert the macro below, it will unlock the active sheet. It won't give you the real password, but it does use a backdoor password in excel, so your sheet will be unlocked, then you can work with the real password again.

    jtal, your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code.

    Posting code between [CODE] [/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, it also maintains VBA formatting.

    Highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here
