VBAProject properties prompting for password when protection is not enabled

Recently, I had a project password go corrupt (still not sure how, literally a case of one day the password worked, the next day it didn't) and I had to use a macro-based workaround to re-establish access in VBA. During this process, I disabled the protection as the excel tool I created wasn't going back live right away and I wanted to avoid having to use the workaround a second time. Now, while I can access and edit all userform and macro files, if I try to view the project properties I receive the password prompt (a result of me messing with stuff I don't fully understand, I'm sure).

Is there a way to correct this?

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
It sounds like you didn't actually unprotect the project, you just removed the 'Lock project for viewing' option.
