Maybe like this, first open new excel document and enter the code, after that open your password protected excel file from inside new excel document.

Ah, that protection is a little bit harder (but not unbeatable). Some more complexity may arise if you did/didn't encrypt the file with something like AES-256 encryption. But, I'd start with a google search for:

Do note that some solutions may require purchase of software.

Fairly common question, and you may have some luck.
