I set New. 
You forgot to write password for D4 and for the sheet.
Comment 7 Timur 2021-07-21 11:46:49 UTC
Calc not only doesn't read XLSX option "Allow Users to Edit Ranges"  with password, but it has no similar feature, which should be created first. 
OTOH, XLSX with the option but with no password can have cells edited in LO. Cell Protection status is still shown as Protected.

Sample XLSX

Attached sample did not write pass, so I remove it and add another sample from MSO that has 2 ranges, with and without password.

In addition to previous, LO saved XLSX retains protected ranges and they are properly seein in MSO.
