workbook acting as if it's protected

Hi
I'm working on a holiday spreadsheet but one of my colleagues saved a copy which is fine but now I can't add another sheet to it is says the workbook is protected but it isn't and the add sheet is grayed out.

New Staff-Holiday-Card 2020.xlsm

any help would be appreciated

it is says the workbook is protected but it isn't

Yes it is, if you got the Review Ribbon you'll see that Protect Workbook is highlighted.
If you click the button it will will ask for a password, which you will need to get from whoever protected it to start with.

Hi
I appreciate your help and understand your stance on removing the password, however I will need to try and find a way as the person who set
It doesn’t remember.

Hi
With reference to my original post it is't just this workbook it's all my excel files all have Protect Workbook highlighted this was caused by someone doing a save as on the file I posted but the back ground on the file was it had originally been password protected I ran a macro to remove the password, not sure if both are linked.

Basically all my excel files are locked is there anything I can do.

Thanks
