Lost password
I was working on a spreadsheet and had to use a password to protect it when I left the computer. and I cannot remember the password. How can I recover it.

You can't; OO encryption is very strong and opening a file without the password is a matter of brute force, whvch may tie up your computer for days.

Thanx. Looks like I'll be starting over. This time the password WILL NOT get lost.

Remember that passwords are case sensitive; if you have an idea of what it might be, try a few variations.
