It would depend on the type of protection that was put on. Some will let you access with password, but most will not. There are no real way to break protection, which is why many people ask to release the maps unprotected. Basically, you want to edit the map? You'll have to remake the map.

the reason that map appears to have no tooltips is because its in another language that we don't have the characters for

If the author did a horrible job making a map, make a better one. Asking about unprotecting a map for the sake of altering someone else's work? That's the whole purpose of map protection...to safeguard them from people like YOU.

If you edit his work. You BETTER get his permission first.

Ser/split/er, Super-Human, you are both warned.
