Protecting a Worksheet
When you set up worksheet protection, you specify which actions are still available to
users in the protected worksheet. For example, you can choose to allow users to insert
new rows or columns, or to delete rows and columns. You can limit the user to selecting
only unlocked cells, or allow the user to select any cell in the worksheet. These choices
remain active as long as the worksheet is protected.

to the protected worksheet that users must enter in order to turn off the protection.
