Default Protected Cell

I am using a workbook contianing 5 worksheets, each sheet is protected with a
password that I am unable to acquire because the person who created the
workbook no longer works for our company. I am trying to put formulas on a
couple of the pages but because it is protected I am unable to do so.

Thanks

Lance

Thanks for what?

You seemed to have figured it out for yourself.

You can't enter formulas on a protected sheet.

A password is required to unprotect.

If the question is "how can I crack a sheet protection password", see this site
or google for password cracker.
