Question VBA assistance needed, Grouping and Tables

I'm brand new to Macros, so bear with me. I have a workbook that will have some protected and unprotected sheets. One sheet is in a table format, where columns are grouped. Upon protecting the sheet, and attempting to expand the columns provides an error. Thus the following logic was added.

Sub Auto_Open()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For Each ws In Sheets
With ws
.Unprotect Password:="XXXXadmin"
.Protect Password:="XXXXadmin", UserInterfaceOnly:=True
.EnableOutlining = True
End With

Next ws

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Allowing me to collapse and expand columns, until I started tinkering with protected sheets and changing passwords (outside of the Macro). Now I consistently get a Run-time error '1004'. Password you supplied is not correct... Two questions - 1) does the XXXXadmin password in the Macro above have to match the sheet or workbook protection password YYYYadmin? - I've tried both and neither work 2) Can I run this subroutine just on one sheet? I don't have grouping any where else.

Any help greatly appreciated and needed!
