Default I overprotected my spreadsheet! Need help ASAP!!

So I try to unprotect my worksheet so that anyone in my network can do
whatever they want to it. Now all I see is

"The cell or chart you are trying to change is protected and therefore
read-only"

"To modify a protected cell or chart, first remove protection using the
Unprotect Sheet command (tools menu, Proctection submenu.) You may be
prompted for a password"


A little vague and... it didn't work...

step by step help please!!

What is vague about the suggestion?

Your sheet is obviously protected via ToolsProtectionProtect Sheet.

To unprotect it go to ToolsProtectionUnprotect sheet.

Provide a password if one is required.

If you don't know the password you can copy all the date to a new sheet.
