In most cities around the world, one can find a locksmith that
specialises in opening safes.

LibreOffice 3.4.4 and lower uses Blowfish algorithm;
LibreOffice 3.4.5 and higher uses AES-256;

As far as I know, the only way to decrypt AES-256, when the password is
unknown, is brute force.

My now out of date blog on the topic can be found

Maybe the user pulled that stunt of hand-editing "protected = true". No
password being used.  If that is the case, then the fix is another hand
edit.

It is a stupid hack, that fails far more often that it works, but when
it works

Probably its best use, is as an April Fools Day prank.

Hi,

Beware, you're not subscribed to the list, you've missed some other replies 
(you can check them in the web-based mail archives however).

But basically, the message is: you're out of luck.
What would be the point of a password if it were that simple to crack it?

The only way is to try brute force cracking but it will take you too much time 
I guess.
If you can't try the multiple possibilities you can remember, then consider 
your file lost.

How do I get the password off? Who do I go to for help.

Re: Deleting OpenOffice icon off of Mac desktop

2019-03-30 Thread Mark Wolf
Yes, I am suggesting a Force Quit for Open Office.

Please don't respond to me personally, but to the
users@openoffice.apache.org list.  Other people may be able to offer
assistance, critique my suggestion, etc.

Thank you.
