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.

If there were, the protection would be pointless... I'm afraid that short of a bruteforce you're out of luck. -- Cley Faye http://cleyfaye.net 2013/9/11 [email protected] <[email protected]> > Dear All , > > I Forger My password of the Libreoffice file . > Who can tell me how to deal with it ? > > Thanks ... ... > -- > To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] > Problems? > http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ > Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette > List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ > All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be > deleted > -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
