Oh, this is a super practical tip! Getting locked out of your own files is the worst, so knowing a way around it is really valuable. I'm curious to see how he plans to unlock both sheets and the whole workbook.

Yep, that's exactly the situation I've been in before. Trying to fill something out and then BAM, protected sheet. It's frustrating when you just want to make a quick change. The standard 'Review' tab option is always the first thing I try too, so I'm eager to see the workaround.

Okay, so it's not just about sheets, but the entire workbook too. That makes sense, sometimes the workbook itself can be locked down. I like that he's setting up the problem so clearly, showing the password prompt as the roadblock.
