Note that "Miss" is not the OP ("tberry"), who clearly mentions toolbars and
menus. Very likely "Miss" doesn't even need to access the Forms tools or the
Developer tab (the Legacy Forms palette doesn't include the Lock/Unlock
button, anyway) and can instead just use the Protect Document button on the
Review tab.

Apparently you are using Word 2007. To access the form options in that
version, you will have to display the Developer tab; here's how to do
that:
Click the Office button, and then click Word Options. In the Popular
category, select "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon" and click OK. On the
Developer tab, you can then insert form fields via the Legacy Tools button
(in the Controls group); there is also a Properties button for specifying
field options. Click the Protect Document button whenever you want to turn
protection on and off.

When I right click it, the only available option is "minimize ribbon"

Right-click on any toolbar and choose Forms from the menu. Or use View |
Toolbars and choose it.

ok on the Forms toolbar, as stated. Sorry but I don't seem to know
where
the
Forms toolbar is. My toolbars are almost completely greyed out and
under
tools I only have the option to "protect" not "unprotect" and it is
grey.

Have you tried Tools | Unprotect Document? Or Using your Forms
toolbar,
clicking on the lock icon? If the document is password protected,
you
will
need to know the password.
