2. Click File menu and click Info.
3. Click Protect Workbook and click Encrypt with Password to open the Encrypt Document dialog box.
4. Enter the password and click OK.
5. Confirm the password by entering the same password again.
Now, when you open the workbook, you will be prompted to enter the password.
