That means: if you use a strong password the tool would probably take ages to guess it. There's no other way than systematically trying passwords until the file opens. That's usual "brute force" business. So if your password is something like "g3Z?g#5eL2Q=" and the like the tool will have a hard job to do. And you will have a bad time if you forgot it. :-) People using passwords like "openoffice" or "julia" and the like shouldn't be astonished if the tool guessed it in a few seconds by just trying out all words it has stored in a number of dictionaries.
