How did my document become read-only?

I have a worksheet to report my mileage on from work. This will be the 4th
month I have used the worksheet, which is saved on my private computer that
no one else has access to. I was always able to edit the worksheets (I have
the original saved and also the copies I made for Jan, Feb, and March that
are all filled in) and now suddenly they are read-only and want me to enter a
password to edit them. However, I just entered some mileage on the worksheet
and it let me. The totals didn't add up though so when I went to change them
it said it was read-only and wanted the password (just for the grey areas
with formulas). I NEVER gave them a password. I had received the original
in an older Excel version and my computer has 97 if this could cause
something like this to happen? It just happened all of a sudden-like magic!
How can I change MY OWN documents from read-only so I can actually complete
them like I was doing? Help!
 
You know what-I think I figured it out. I am just not so computer
savvy...lol. Thanks anyway and I will come back if the problem persists.
