Password

There are several types of protection.

1. Password to open the file. Can be set at File>Save As>Tools>General
Options.

2. Password on a protected worksheet. This is set at Tools>Protection>Protect
Sheet.

Many functions can be disabled using this type of protection.

3. Workbook Protection password. This is set at Tools>Protection>Protect
Workbook.

This protects the workbook from having sheets deleted and other functions
disabled.

4. VBA Project password to prevent viewers from looking at code modules.

NOTE: except for File to Open protection and VBA project passwords, most forms
of Excel protection are very weak and passwords can be easily cracked.
