Default Unable to Unlock Workbook

In my workbook it was password protected and able to be unlocked, now
when trying to unprotect it the option to unprotect is grayed out 3 other
clients are using this workbook and the option is grayed out for them as
well. One day it was fine the next day they couldnt access it.

How do I unprotect my workbook if the option to click is greyed-out?

Default Unable to Unlock Workbook

Hi,

You will have to un-share the workbook then un-protect it.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.
