Password = "sandy crotch"

Can you put it into my macro, below, so I can cut and paste? So it
unprotecteds the sheet (sandy crotch) and password protects it (sandy crotch)

I have a locked sheet with columns unlocked for users to populate. I have it
protected with a password so users can only update certain cells. I wrote a
macro to sort data when entries are completed by clicking a button. How can
I unprotect it with password, run macro, and protect it with password after
sort is complete
