I hope you have an older version of the file. A corrupted file can
normally, I understand, be recovered but not if you have used password
"protection". The use of a password seems to result fairly often in
corruption of the file, judging by the number of requests such as yours both
here and on the forum. The software should really carry a warning about its
experimental nature.
There is a password cracker on www.ooomacros.org and another has been
mentioned in recent articles.
To deal with corruption, I have the following links. As I say, I believe
the so-called protection will stop you from salvaging any data from the
file.

One user: Thanks for the effort! Here's how I did it:
1. renamed the defective file extension to .zip
2. extracted content of the .zip file
3. opened content.xml with Dreamweaver, selected in the view menu to show
errored lines (shows the bad text with yellow background) and removed them.
4. did the same with style.xml
5. updated the .zip file and renamed it back to .ods
Some styling was removed but the file worked and all the data was in it!
Cheers!
