Summary:

After you save a spreadsheet with a password (choose Transfer, choose Save, and select Yes in the “protected:” field), the “protected:” field returns to the default setting, which is No.

This is by program design, because it is assumed that most people will only occasionally save work with a password.

If you want to save a worksheet with a password, you will have to change the “protected:” field to Yes, because it resets to the default mode (nonprotected save) each time you save a worksheet.
