Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.

In addition to the comments about disabling macros in the above link, you might also want to password protect the code.

Here's one way (untested).
To set it up :
• Open a new sheet named "Hidden".
• Enter the current lock date in cell A1.
• Hide the sheet.
Then:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim exp_date As Date
Dim pword1$, pword2$, iResponse%

exp_date = Sheets("Hidden").[A1]
pword1 = "raji123"

If Date > exp_date Then
    pword2 = Application.InputBox("Please enter your password.", "Login")
    If pword2 <> pword1 Then ThisWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False
    iResponse = MsgBox("Do you want to change the lock date?", vbOKCancel)
    If iResponse = vbOK Then Call GetADate
End If
End Sub
And this in a normal module :
VBA Code:
Sub GetADate()
Dim TheString$
TheString = Application.InputBox("Enter a new lock date (d/m/yy)")
If IsDate(TheString) Then
    Sheets("Hidden").[A1] = DateValue(TheString)
Else
    MsgBox "Invalid date"
End If
End Sub
