You don't need any password for validating the sheets or generating the xml file if you are using the excel workbook downloaded from the Income tax site.
The problem happens due to 3 reasons:
1. The macros are disabled: hope you know how to enable the macros
2. ActiveX controls are disabled: When you open the file just below the menus, there is a message bar which gives a security warning that ActiveX is disabled. Click options and enable it. This might solve the problem. If that too doesn't solve the problem read on.
3. The original file is Office 2003 format, that is it is in *.xls. Solution: save as macro enabled workbook. Close the file and then reopen.
I guess that should solve the problem.
