Default Locking specific cells in a workbook

Somehow the way I know how to lock specific cells in a workbook isn't
working. can you remind me how to do it please?


The process would be:
1. Unlock all cells in the sheet first

Select the entire sheet,
Click Format Cells Protection tab
Uncheck "Locked" OK
(As Dave pointed out, all cells are "locked" by default)

2. Lock those specific cells/ranges

Hold down CTRL key and multiselect all the specific cells/ranges
Click Format Cells Protection tab
Check "Locked" OK

3. Apply sheet protection

Click Tools Protection Protect Sheet Password? OK
