Can anyone tell me why this is not working correctly? I can protect all the sheets but when I go to unprotect the sheets I get the error message?

Sub protectsheets()
Dim wsheet As Worksheet
Dim Pwd As String
Pwd = InputBox("Password:", "Protect Sheets")
For Each wsheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
wsheet.Protect Password:=Pwd, DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, AllowFormattingRows:=True
Next wsheet
End Sub


Sub unprotectsheets()
Dim wsheet As Worksheet
Dim Pwd As String
Pwd = InputBox("Password:", "Unprotect Sheets")
On Error Resume Next
For Each wsheet In Worksheets
wsheet.Unprotect Password:=Pwd
Next wsheet
If Err <> 0 Then
MsgBox "You have entered an incorrect password. All worksheets could not " & "be unprotected.", vbCritical, "Incorrect Password"
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
The password you enter is case-sensitive, so make sure that you enter your password in the proper case. Also, your code works on the active workbook, so make sure that the target workbook is in fact the active workbook before running your code.
