As far as I am aware, the only way to lock/unlock a cell is through the HSSFCellStyle object applied to it. Therefore, my guess is that you would need to clone the cell style, call the setLocked(boolean) method on that clone and then apply it to the cell again. The reason you would need to clone the style, in my opinion, is that if you simply change the cell style you recover from the cell then you risk unlocking all of the cells that style is applied to.

At the time of creation all cells by default are locked. Is there a way to unlock specific cells before I writeProtect the rest of the worksheet?
