Unprotect the sheet then unlock what you need.

@c, the steps to unprotect are in the same menus to protect. I see 15amoer noted where to get a sip from a fire hose of information too.

Google didn't do much help for the programs it suggest

@c. Sometimes folk leave out a key detail Such as "I don't have the password to unprotect the sheet." You didn't write that so I proceed as it's not a lost password issue. Just one where the user has forgotten where the menus are.

@Comeody.If so that (You don't have the password to unprotect the sheet),all you need to do is unlock it for editing anything in a given worksheet.
