Check the temporary folder of the system (see in OO menu Tools>Options>OO>Paths). If there are folders like sgmlf.tmp with a file having the same name inside, make a copy of that file, rename it in .ods and cross your fingers. If you have not rebooted, you might have those files still there.
NB: I hope you were using ODF (.ods). If it was a .xls, I doubt there is something to do. Good luck! Hagar Le 05/08/2013 21:33, Duffield a écrit :
I have very few password protected documents but have one Calc document which is very important to me that I protect with a very secure password. Fortunately, I periodically do a Save As of this document and retain many of the previous copies even though the contents have been superseded by the newest file. I use the same password for all copies of this file so I know what the correct password is. I have not changed this password in years. My problem is that the password for the newest copy of this Calc document seemingly has become corrupted and the correct password will no longer open it. This all seems to have come about as a result of some blue screens while the file was open, caused by a failed memory module. Once I removed the defective memory and got the computer working correctly again, I discovered I could no longer access my Calc document because my password no longer works. My question is, is there any file recovery I can run for this document which might restore the password to what it is supposed to be? I am using Open Office v3.4.1 on a Win XP Pro SP3 pc. I can abandon this corrupted file but it does contain the most current information which is not available in the most recent preceding file. It is not a traumatic event but will be a definite inconvenience if I have to abandon this corrupted file. Any suggestions offered will be appreciated, even if I end up failing in my effort. Thank you, Bob
