Default How To Lock Cells

format|cells|protection tab|check locked

But this works in conjunction with:
tools|protection|protect sheet

(and this protection is easily broken.)

Just highlight the cell(s) you wish to lock, then right click on those cells
and go to Format Cells. From there, go to the "Protection" tab. You can
choose how you want to protect the cell. Once you have finished that, you
must then protect the entire sheet - go to Tools Protection Protect Sheet.

That should do it =)
