Enable Macro button on protected sheet - Excel

I have a macro that copies rows from one sheet to another. However, I want to protect this sheet from editing. When I do this though, I cant get the macro to run. I've played around with the different locked properties and it still doesn't work.

This is what Ive attempted:

Option Explicit

Dim pwd As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
pwd = "password"

ws.Unprotect password:=pwd
Next ws

Sub FilterAndCopy()
    Dim rng As Range, sht1 As Worksheet, sht2 As Worksheet

    Set sht1 = Worksheets("SHIFT LOG")
    Set sht2 = Worksheets("CHANGE OF NO'S")

    sht2.UsedRange.ClearContents

    With Intersect(sht1.Columns("B:BP"), sht1.UsedRange)
        .Cells.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
        If .Parent.AutoFilterMode Then .Parent.AutoFilterMode = False

        .AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="Change of Numbers"

        .Range("A:F, AD:AD, BL:BO").Copy Destination:=sht2.Cells(4, "B")
        .Parent.AutoFilterMode = False

        .Range("F:AD").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
        .Range("AE:BK").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
   End With

    'Go to last cell in column B
    With ActiveSheet
    Range("B5").Select
    Selection.End(xlDown).Select
    End With

End Sub

ws.Protect password:=pwd
Next ws

try this snippet code before and after your code

BEFORE: ' sheet1 and sheet2 are protected

Dim pwd As String
Dim ws as WorkSheet
pwd = "password"

For Each ws In Worksheets
    ws.Unprotect Password:=pwd
Next ws

'your code

AFTER:

For Each ws In Worksheets
    ws.protect Password:=pwd
Next ws

Hope this helps

EDIT post after you comment

Option Explicit 

Sub FilterAndCopy() 

Dim pwd As String   
Dim sht1, sht2 As Worksheet 
Dim rng As Range    

pwd = "password"    

Set sht1 = Worksheets("SHIFT LOG")  
Set sht2 = Worksheets("CHANGE OF NO'S") 

sht2.Unprotect Password:=pwd 'unprotect the sheet   
sht2.UsedRange.ClearContents ' clear contents   

With Intersect(sht1.Columns("B:BP"), sht1.UsedRange)    

    .Cells.EntireColumn.Hidden = False  
    If .Parent.AutoFilterMode Then .Parent.AutoFilterMode = False   

    .AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="Change of Numbers"    

    .Range("A:F, AD:AD, BL:BO").Copy Destination:=sht2.Cells(4, "B")

    .Range("F:AD").EntireColumn.Hidden = True   
    .Range("AE:BK").EntireColumn.Hidden = True  

End With    

'Go to last cell in column B    
With ActiveSheet    

    Range("B5").Select  
    Selection.End(xlDown).Select    

End With    

sht2.Protect Password:=pwd ' protect the sheet
