One of the major issues with the password scheme that OOo uses, is
that if one forgets the password, it probably will be cheaper and
faster to recreate the document from scratch, than pay to have the
password recovered.
(Basically, if OOo Pasword Cracker
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=87718&package_id=173080
doesn't recover the password within one month, the odds are that it
will years to recover the password.)
And why exactly is this "a major issue"? Or even a minor one? IMHO it
would be more of an issue if a cracker could guess the password in a
short time. The idea of passwords is to *prevent* access to data. Either
don't use them or don't forget them. Or use a secure password manager.
