Default Preventing people from viewing specific worksheets

Right i have a excel document with 54 worksheets.

I want to password protect the first two worksheets with an identical
password.

Is it possible and how.

I did find some code to do it

Dim sLast As Object

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'Ensure Sheet1 is not the active sheet upon opening.
If Sheet1.Name = ActiveSheet.Name Then Sheet2.Select
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Dim strPass As String
Dim lCount As Long

If Sh.CodeName < "Sheet1" Then
'Set sLast variable to the last active sheet _
This is then used to return the user to the _
last sheet they were on if password is not known _
or they Cancel.
Set sLast = Sh

Else
'Hide Columns
Sheet1.Columns.Hidden = True
'Allow 3 attempts at password
For lCount = 1 To 3
strPass = InputBox(Prompt:="Password Please",
Title:="PASSWORD REQUIRED")
If strPass = vbNullString Then 'Cancelled
sLast.Select
Exit Sub
ElseIf strPass < "Secret" Then 'InCorrect password
MsgBox "Password incorrect", vbCritical,
"Ozgrid.com"
Else 'Correct Password
Exit For
End If
Next lCount

If lCount = 4 Then 'They use up their 3 attempts
sLast.Select
Exit Sub
Else 'Allow viewing
Sheet1.Columns.Hidden = False
End If
End If


End Sub all it does is brings an error 1004 up
