I enabled the microsoft office trial version on my computer. What did it use
as my password?

How long ago did you activate the trial version? Could it be that the trial
period has expired?

When I try to delete worksheets the program asks for my password and won't
let me delete my worksheets. Apparently there is some kind of protection
that I did not apply to my first trys with excel.

Who created those worksheets? There is no general password to access the
program.

Have you tried to remove protection on those sheets? Sheets can be
'protected' but without a password also. Try this and see if it helps:
Go to one of those sheets and use Tools | Protection
at that point, if it is the sheet that is protected the option will be to
[Unprotect Sheet] click that. If there was no password applied, the sheet
will immediately become unprotected - if there was a password, then you'll be
asked for it...and you'll be in no worse shape than you are right now.

Check out Tools>Protection and Unprotect Workbook.

You may have to supply a password.

Alternate guess.............

The workbook is Shared and won't allow sheet deletions.

Tools>Share Workbook>Uncheck "allow etc." checkbox.
