Password Recovery

Post by skimask »

I saved a spreadsheet password protected. I forgot the password it's alphanumeric with special characters. Can anyone tell me where the password hash is kept? I've tried Interlore for calculator to no avail. I'm now trying to find the password using Ophcrack.

Thanks,

How can we know whether you are the owner of this file or someone who has found a protected file and tries opening it? It is then very difficult to help people in your situation. In any case, passwords in OOo are very strong and I am afraid that no one will be able to help you.

That's a good question. All I can do is assure the reader that I am in fact the owner of the document.
