Hi!
Please help me, I´m desperate!
I´ve written a good portion of a book and suddenly I cannot open the file. I use the same password that has worked before. I´ve tried to update the open office but it didn´t help.
What to do??

Re: Password doesn´t work
I know of a SURE workaround for "The password is incorrect. The file cannot be opened."MaryFu wrote:Hi!

Simply switch to LibreOffice ... that's what I did ... problem solved: the password works again.
This problem has been in the OpenOffice codebase for over a DECADE - affecting ANY password protected file type - and the developers are powerless to find and fix it.
If you don't believe me - search the forum for
The password is incorrect
for yourself, and you'll see most of them conclude "LibreOffice Worked!!!"
This problem was why I switched to LibreOffice 4 years ago ... as I found no help here. They gave me the brush off also.
