File is write protected

Question

I get a message alert when opening a microstation drawing that the file is write protected and I open it in a Read-Only mode. How can I un-write protect the drawing/file? Thanks!

Depending on what type of write protection is used, would determine what needed to be done to unprotect it. However if the author did something to the file specifically, there may not be a "method" to unprotect it without their permission. 
 Was the file marked as read only in the Window's properties, or were you prompted for a password or certificate to edit the file?

If you right click on the file that you did a save as on your local machine and go to properties, is the "Read-Only" option checked?
