Assuming that all the worksheets have the same password, you can use code
like
Sub UnlockWorksheets()
Dim PW As String
Dim WS As Worksheet
On Error GoTo ErrHandler:
PW = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Enter Password", Type:=2)
If StrPtr(PW) = 0 Then
' user cancelled
Exit Sub
End If
For Each WS In Worksheets
WS.Unprotect Password:=PW
Next WS
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbOKOnly
End Sub

Good morning. A couple of weeks ago, someone from this forum, was very
helpful in my question on how to unprotect protected worksheets, with
similar
passwords, with a macro. Below is a copy of the VB script I was given.
It
worked but then I realized, the password "hi" is now visible under the
macro
script. Is there a way to rewrite the code so that it will not show the
password and instead when the macro is run, one has to enter the password
before the macro can unprotect the protected worksheets?
thank you very much,
Storm
