3. Click the Protect Sheet button, then a dialog will pop up.

4. In the Allow all users of this worksheet to area, Select locked cells and Select unlocked cells these two options have been checked by default. (Note: Other options can be checked as needed.)

5. We enter password in the Password (optional) box, and click the OK button.
