Hi,

sorry but there is little chance to open this file again except you can reconstruct the password from your rain.

As far as I know OOo uses the AES algorithm to encrypt the data stream. So nearly no chance to crack it except you use a brute force attack on the file. Problem is there is no program which does it for you.

Sorry for no better reply.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Bad luck. See:
- Password forgotten, can I crack it?
- Password Recovery

If you don't want to redo your file, try to remember all the passwords you could have used.

Good luck.
