Default Password Protection Bug

I am using MS Office (Pro) Excel 2003 (11.8237.8221) SP3
I create a new workbook.
I password protect the first sheet using the password "az" without the
quotation marks.
The sheet is now protected.
I unprotect the sheet and, when prompted for the password, input "Aj"
without the quotation marks.
The sheet is now unprotected.
Why does this other password work for unlocking the worksheet?
(There are other examples. For instance, "test" can be unlocked using "BBAb")

Why the heck does this work?
