I meant xls files in MS EXCEL 2003 when I wrote about the short times needed to open them. I
protected them against opening.
I never tested a LO file so far - hope I never have to!!!
Here are some links I checked, however I don't recall what was the result for each link. Most of the
links I deleted. I just searched for "password remove excel"

If you're talking about files with protections, minutes is on the long side.
It is trivial to remove protections.
If you're talking about Libre Office files created by Save As ... | Save with
Password options, I would like to know who is claiming they can do that in any
reasonable time.
There are some older forms of Microsoft Word save with password that are easy
to crack. Not newer ones though.
Although I have concerns about the quality of the encryption used in ODF
documents (what Save As ... | Save with Password uses), I don't think you're
going to find any commodity software that is able to crack those in any
feasible time period.
If there is, that needs to be widely known.
Care to share any links?

Dennis,
When I am reading your long and excellent explanation, I wonder again how some
PW removing tools,
which offer a demo with opening the file or showing the PW removed, can claim
that the file could be
open within a few seconds to a minute?
