Default Won't accept password to unprotect

Had Excel open twice as I was using dual monitors instead of flipping back &
forth between window view. While exiting of of them and our system was
synchronizing them my machine locked up. Now I cannot open the worksheet with
my password. Or more accurately I wentr through the steps about trying to
change a workbook password and now when I use that password it brings up the
sheet but tell me ... (file name "is reserved by... " but our IS dept has
looked and told me no one is in it on our network and it is not reserved so I
think what happened is something was scrambled during the last cloing down
the sheet process and it is now stuck. How can I get this rather large sheet
open?
