A:
Check out the Apache POI project. It is a Java API for Microsoft Documents, including Excel.
Even though I haven't used it myself, it seems like there is support for passwords in xls documents. If you want more detailed help you would need to be more specific, like @Sebastian says.
Edit:
Is the protectSheet function from POI maybe what you are looking for?

the password is not encrypted, which defeats the purpose

Why not zip the file and password protect the zip file (http://merkert.de/de/info/zipaes/src.zip), using AesZipOutputStream.zipAndEcrypt(...))
