Default Can I protect all excel tabs in a file with one password entry

If I simply replace the protect with unprotect, I receive the following error
message:

Compile error: Expected function or variable

Also...is there a way to perform these macros without requiring a password?

Just use

ws.unprotect password:="123"

to unprotect the sheets. They all share the same password, right?

Does anyone know how to do the reverse (i.e. unprotect all sheets at once)?

Indiana, you can use a macro like this,

Sub protect_sheets()

Dim ws As Worksheet

For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets

ws.Protect password:="123"

Next ws

End Sub
