Hello,
Currently, we support adding a password to a saved document only while exporting the document to XLS format. Please refer to the following code:

C#
Workbook wb = new Workbook();  
wb.LoadDocument("test.xlsx");  
wb.Options.Export.Xls.Password = "test";  
wb.SaveDocument("test_password.xls", DevExpress.Spreadsheet.DocumentFormat.Xls);

For XLSX format, this functionality is not yet supported, because of complexity of supporting this feature for the mentioned format. We have this task in our TO-DO list, however, we have not yet decided in what exact version it will be implemented.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions or need further assistance.
