Unprotected cells seem to randomly lock - help me solve the mystery please

Ok. This is a mystery at least to me. I have some code that does three things:

It hides certain rows depending on choices made in one specific cell
It auto expands rows to accommodate text even in merged cells and
It sends a warning when a calculated cell exceeds 100%

All of these functions work fine but afterwards certain cells lock themselves rather than remaining unprotected as they should be. The "locked" box is filled in rather than checked. See code below. Any help is much appreciated. Have spent hours trying to fix this. Thanks!

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim NewRwHt As Double
Dim cWdth As Double
Dim MrgeWdth As Double
Dim c As Range
Dim cc As Range
Dim ma As Range

Me.Unprotect Password:="PASSWORD"

If Range("B6").Value = "Individual Contributor - No direct reports" Then
Rows("98:106").EntireRow.Hidden = True
ElseIf Range("B6").Value = "Management - Has direct reports" Then
Rows("98:107").EntireRow.Hidden = False

End If

If Range("D64") > 100 Then
MsgBox "Total exceeds 100%"
End If

With Target
If .MergeCells And .WrapText Then

Set c = Target.Cells(1, 1)
cWdth = c.ColumnWidth
Set ma = c.MergeArea
For Each cc In ma.Cells
MrgeWdth = MrgeWdth + cc.ColumnWidth
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ma.MergeCells = False
c.ColumnWidth = MrgeWdth
c.EntireRow.AutoFit
NewRwHt = c.RowHeight
c.ColumnWidth = cWdth
ma.MergeCells = True
ma.RowHeight = NewRwHt
cWdth = 0: MrgeWdth = 0

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If
End With

Me.Protect Password:="PASSWORD"
End Sub
