Default unable to unprotect my protected excel file

Hi all,

I have this excel files protected by password and I need to unprotect it so
I go to Tools - Protection - Unprotect Sheet to unprotect my worksheet.
The password was right and the process went on correctly without any error
or problem.

but the next time I open the same file again, I was prompted to key in
password again. and I had to use the same password to go in.

When I check on the Tools - Protection. The unprotect sheet change to
Protect sheet. which means by right it should be an unprotected file. but
why I was prompt for password ?

I suspected it is due to corrupted file content. but how to fix it ? or it
is something else.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
