Re: [libreoffice-users] the password of Libreoffice

Hi :)
You can always try opening it with MS Office.  

I have opened password protected MS files in LibreOffice without even being asked to type in a 
password.  I have been told the other way around works too.  Both programs use different systems 
for password protection.  

Another way might be to copy the file and then rename the file-ending to .zip and then you should 
be able to poke around inside the coding of the file.  I've not looked at a Calc file that way so i 
am not sure whether a text-editor could help recover the information from "contents.xml".  Also i 
am not sure if there is a single element that could be deleted to remove the password protection.  

YouTube and other places might well have "How to" crack open password protected files so i would 
google it (or other search engine).  

Most security is more likely to hamper legitimate users than really slow down a determined cracker. 
 Encryption is a classic at being more often responsible for losing crucial or private data.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Unfortunately, short of having an unprotected backup of your file somewhere
else, there is no workaround for a lost password. If there were, the
protection would be pointless...

I'm afraid that short of a bruteforce you're out of luck.
