Only through the use of VBA macros.
Sub ProtectAllSheets()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim n As Single
For n = 1 To Sheets.Count
Sheets(n).Protect Password:="justme"
Next n
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Sub UnprotectAllSheets()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim n As Single
For n = 1 To Sheets.Count
Sheets(n).Unprotect Password:="justme"
Next n
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
If not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for more on
"getting started".

In the meantime..........
First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.
To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.
Hit CRTL + r to open Project Explorer.
Find your workbook/project and select it.
Right-click and InsertModule. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.
Run the macro by going to ToolMacroMacros.
You can also assign a macro to a button or a shortcut key combo.

Is there a way to protect or unprotect multiple selected worksheets in a
workbook at the same time or all the worksheets in the workbook at the same
