I put a password on my work document, but I forgot to write it down and can't get into my document now.
Is there a different way to open it without losing everything?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Document Password
The point of password protection is to deny people access unless they have the password.
If there was an easy way to circumvent this, the password protection would be next to useless.

Re: Document Password
If you think you might remember the password, be aware that passwords are case sensitive, so it is worth trying a vaguely remembered password with case variations.
Because passwording in OpenOffice is effectively unbreakable, I never recommend that it be used.
