The disadvantages of using .Unprotect and then a password is that 1) you have to put the password directly into the code and 2) the worksheet will be temporarily unprotected and it will remain unprotected if the macro is interrupted.

A better solution is to use UserInterfaceOnly:=true which will allow the macro to make changes to a protected sheet.

Try:
Code: 
Sheets("Report").UnProtect UserInterfaceOnly:=True
Sheets("Database").UnProtect UserInterfaceOnly:=True

your Advanced Filter macros...

Sheets("Report").UnProtect UserInterfaceOnly:=False
Sheets("Database").UnProtect UserInterfaceOnly:=False
