I have no problem protecting via macro and unprotecting via Tools menu.

Are you positive the password you enter in either case is the same?

Do not use the quote marks when typing in the password manually.

If I protect a sheet with the following line.

ActiveSheet.Protect password = "qwerty"

Why can't I unProtect the sheet manually from
"ToolsProtectionUnprotectSheet" then typing in the the same password?

following line cause an error

ActiveSheet.Unprotect password = "qwerty"
