I don't see how that is possible?

If the file is really password locked I don't think it is recoverable
without knowing the password.

However, as understand it, the file was originally in 1.x .sxc format
and has now been saved in 2.x .ods format. OOo does not overwrite .sxc
files when saved in .ods format, in which case you should still be able
to open the original .sxc file. OK you will still have to redo changes
from your last edit, but it is not a total loss. When you save after
this edit use the "Save As..." option, making sure that the password
option is not checked/ticked.

Hope this helps.

Dave
