Default Alter Mulitple Protected VB Modules

We have an engineer here who created a highly useful
workbook with VB Modules. He password protected
the VBA Project.

Unfortunately, he hard-coded a network path in these
modules, and that path must change for reasons beyond
our control.

The problem is that this workbook has been copied literally
thousands of times. All of them need to be fixed.

They are all on mapped network drives that I can access,
so I know where all the copies are. I've been looking for
some way to automate a find / replace on all these workbooks,
but I see there is no good way to use VBA to unprotect
the modules.

I'm not restricted to VB or VBA. I could do something in
VC++ or Perl or whatever.

Any suggestions on how to do the fix? Right now, he's
facing the possibility of having to manually open and
unprotect thousands of workbooks.
