Default I know my password, yet it will not open my workbook

After entering the data, I set a password for the sheet protection. I copied
and pasted the data in another file because I wanted to email the sheet to
another,without them having access to the other worksheets in the workbook. I
closed the workbook and when I went to open it again a few minutes later, it
would not accept my password. I checked my "caps" key - that isn't the
problem. I'd really appreciate your assistance.

Don't worry, internal password protection is very weak and easy to break.
See
Password
http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/removepwords.html
for internal passwords, or
http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/fileandvbapwords.html
for file passwords.
