Re: How to disable password

[Richard D]

Correct, it's not possible. And if it were possible, that would totally 
defeat the purpose of having a password, wouldn't it?

Re: Forgot Password

[Alan B]

You may also try an OpenOffice password cracker.

A web search with the term "openoffice password cracker" turns up quite a
few hits. It will be brute force cracking, in other words make a password,
try it, if fails try another, and so on. But the password cracker
automatically creates and tries the passwords so you don't have to.

If you really need the document AND the password's not too complex, AND you
have some idea its length, then running the password cracker for a few
minutes to several days until it finds the password will get you back into
the document.

not to complex - if you know it is only letters and numbers, or better yet
only upper case or lower case letters and some numbers then fewer passwords
for the cracker to create and try and quicker results
its length - if you know it is six or eight or ten characters, or at least
five characters you can tell the password cracker to start with passwords
that length. Saves time because the cracker doesn't start with passwords of
length one character and work up from there

If you know the above things then do the web search and try some of the
password crackers.

Re: Forgot Password

[Andrew Pitonyak]

If it's vital you can try a password cracker, but that would be really slow 
you'd have to write it as a macro... For that to work it would surely help if 
you had a good idea what the password was though because each attempt takes time

ODF (OpenDocument Format ISO/IEC 26300:2006 standard
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ODF)password protected files are almost
impossible to open unless you have the correct password.

While it will not resolve your current issue, for the future you might
consider a good secure password manager to generate and store strong
passwords for you.
My recommendation would be the free open source Bitwarden password
manager: https://bitwarden.com/

Re: cant request new password

In general:

If you need an admin on the forum:

If you need an admin on another page:


 sysad...@openoffice.apache.org

If you are unsure and you need to send confidential stuff like your user 
data:



 priv...@openoffice.apache.org

is never wrong.

Best is always to pass a URL and login and email address you use. In 
order to resolve the issue / gain controll.

In most cities around the world, one can find a locksmith that
specialises in opening safes.

LibreOffice 3.4.4 and lower uses Blowfish algorithm;
LibreOffice 3.4.5 and higher uses AES-256;

As far as I know, the only way to decrypt AES-256, when the password is
unknown, is brute force.

My now out of date blog on the topic can be found

Maybe the user pulled that stunt of hand-editing "protected = true". No
password being used.  If that is the case, then the fix is another hand
edit.

It is a stupid hack, that fails far more often that it works, but when
it works

Probably its best use, is as an April Fools Day prank.

Hi,

Beware, you're not subscribed to the list, you've missed some other replies 
(you can check them in the web-based mail archives however).

But basically, the message is: you're out of luck.
What would be the point of a password if it were that simple to crack it?

The only way is to try brute force cracking but it will take you too much time 
I guess.
If you can't try the multiple possibilities you can remember, then consider 
your file lost.

you've gotten the sad news about opening the document from others.

but you can make a *copy* of the *file* for safe-keeping or other 
reasons. if that's (also) what you want, tell us what operating system 
(e.g. Windows) you are using and if you can, where the file is 
located.


a 'document' is from the computer's perspective a 'file' with a name 
like "MySecrets.docx". it is located somewhere like in 'My Documents' 
or something. someone can walk you through it.


you still won't be able to see the *contents* until you somehow obtain 
the password.

You are not supposed to be able to, that's the point in having passwords in
the first place (as somebody already mentioned).

What instructions? Who told you that?

Yes, exactly. That's the point in having passwords. You are not supposed to
be able to open a password protected document without the password. That's
what password protection is for.

You can do that only if you know the password. It's called security.

I think there are software out there that can do it, but unless your
passwords is really stupid, it will take quite a while. Maybe days, maybe
even years. It depends on a lot of things, I guess. I think there was a
discussion about this a couple of years ago, maybe you could search the
archives for that thread. Or maybe that was discussed in the LibreOffice
mailing list, I don't remember.

If it is that easy what is the benefit of having a password set anyway?

Re: Password etc.

[David Robley]

You don't say what "acct" you are having problems with. If you are 
talking about the Apache OpenOffice forum, if you know your username you 
can use the forgot your password link on the forum login page. Otherwise 
email aoo.forum...@gmail.com <mailto:aoo.forum...@gmail.com> and ask for 
user details.


If the username and password are for something else, that is beyond the 
scope of this mailing list.


As a courtesy I have sent a copy of this reply to you as well as to the

Yes there is a way, assuming you use OpenOffice and use the Save As

of the menu there is an option to Save with password.
But I don't understand why you want to save as a .doc (Word) document.
Exporting to PDF will protect updates from unauthorized users.

it is not possible to 'reset' the password; if it were, what for would one set

Optimised brute force is the most efficient way of finding the password.

There are a couple of firms that will do this for you, but their fees
are high. One of them has an initial charge of US$10,000,000, and a

The passwording used in OpenOffice .odt and similar files is very strong; 
effectively unbreakable.  Automated brute force methods (i.e., trying every 
possible password) may work, but could tie up your computer for an extended

If the password was in your mind at one time, it's probably still there.
If you can remember what you were doing when you first use it, it might

1.  Sadly, your other responders are right: The task is close to

files, or use software like Keypass to create and store strong passwords 
that you won't forget.  Just Google "Keypass" or "Password Managers."

In addition to what Dennis says (below), it may be possible to decrypt your 
file using brute force; that process may tie your computer up for days/weeks 
while it tries every combination. While this is possible, it is hardly 
practicable.

I remind you that passwords are case sensitive, just in case you have forgotten 
that. Check your caps lock key and try again.

RE: spreadsheet password

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

The Save with Password functions of Apache OpenOffice use serious encryption 
techniques that require the original password to be known.

There is no means to recover the password from the files.  There is no means to 
recover the file without discovering the password.

The weakest point in this procedure is the password itself.  There are programs 
that attempt to discover weak passwords by rapid, automated trials of 
commonly-used passwords, short passwords, ones with inadequate variety 
including well-known patterns.

You might find a program that offers to decrypt OpenOffice files (assuming you 
are using .ods for your spreadsheets) although there is usually no promise to 
succeed and the free trial will perhaps not try long enough.  If you pay for 
one of those, there still may not be any solution in a reasonable amount of 
time spent running the program.  The risk is yours.

It is the purpose of Save with Password to be this difficult and keep whatever 
your data is that private.

There is a slight risk that a file is damaged in such a way that the correct 
password is also unsuccessful.  Since you mention several spreadsheets, that is 
likely not the case.

If you want/need password recovery for an ODF file, then I'd recommend
your monthly budget be in the neighbourhood of 1,ك000,000 per month,
until the password has been recovered.

Try John The Ripper, available from http://www.openwall.com/john/.

I don't what the data is based upon, but the claim is that if it doesn't
recover the password within 90 days, it will take several decades for
the password to be recovered.

Using a standard desktop, the formula for determining how long it takes
to brute force the password is:
( n ^ PL ) / 1,000,000 = time in seconds.

For a small Beowulf cluster, the formula is
( n ^ PL ) / 99,000,000,000 = time in seconds.

where
* n is password cardinality. This is also known as the size of the
symbol space. Rephrasing, the number of letters in the case of the
writing systems that are used;
* PL is password length;

FYI, this is why passwords in Hebrew are inherently less secure than
passwords in English, which in turn, are less secure than passwords in
Russian.

https://app.box.com/s/aobyrwv0w33v2hxskfjtwjcvq14sovau
has a spreadsheet that calculates approximate password strength, and how
long it will take to brute force.
(Somebody else can clean it up, and toss it into a template repository.)

Try deleting or renaming your OpenOffice user profile.  If you use Windows, do 
this by:
Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File Explorer. Copy and paste 
%appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address Bar and press Enter. Delete 
or Rename the user folder. Start OpenOffice.

If not using Windows, details are in 
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74t=12426

Before doing this, see if there is a backup copy or a temporary copy of your 
file in the directories pointed to be 
/Tools /Options /OpenOffice /Paths for the Temporary and Backup files.  Such 
files may have arbitrary names (hgjdrx.tmp or similar).  Rename them to the 
extension of your file and see if they open for you.

Your passworded file may be corrupt.

Sorry Elif, to remove a password the password must me known.

The process is enter the password to open the document, open the document,
remove the password. Once a document is encrypted with a password the
password is required to unencrypt the document.

After a brief web search I found a number of password crackers for
OpenOffice. I have not used any of them and cannot attest to how well they
function, if they function at all, if the tools contain malware or if the
sites they are available from contain malware. (I work in IT and regularly
see people's computers infected with malware so yes, I am suspicious of
unfamiliar sites.) Proceed at your own risk if you wish to try any.

Word?  That is an MS File Format.  I didn't know LibO could save
password protected MSO file formats.

I forget it. How could I remove the password and open my document?

If you meant Write, then:

LibO 3.4.5 and lower can write files whose password protection relies on
Blowfish;
LibO 3.4.4 and lower can read files whose password protection relies on
Blowfish;
LibO 3.4.5 and higher can read files whose password protection relies on
AES-256;
LibO 3.5.0 and higher can write files whose password protection relies
on AES-256;

OpenOffice.org 3.3 and lower can read/write files  whose password
protection relies on SHA1/Blowfish;
Apache OpenOffice 3.4 and higher can read/write files whose password
protection relies on SHA256 / AES;

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/User:TJFrazier/Encryption contains a
transitional macro for AOo 3.4, to read SHA1/Blowfish encrypted documents.

The Crypto++ library contains routines for encrypting/decrypting
blowfish, AES-256, and other algorithms for ciphers.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooomacros/files/PasswordCracker/
is an OOo extension/macro that brute forces passwords.
It was last updated in 2005, so it won't work with LibO 3.5.0, and
higher, or AOo 3.4 and higher. I noticed that SourceForge didn't offer
Code on the project components line, so source code might not be
available.

http://archive09.linux.com/articles/61635 is an article from 2007 on
breaking documents encrypted with OOo.

http://ringlord.com/dl/Decrypting%20ODF%20Files.pdf is an in-depth
explanation of how to decrypt ODF File Format files.

One of the commercially distributed password recovery tools claims that
the estimated time to recover a password are:
* 5 characters: 28 minutes;
* 6 characters: 44 hours;
* 7 characters: 174 days;
* 8 characters: 45 years;

typically used.

I took back the Windows 8.1 Laptop that I had bought because it 
was just frustrating me beyond belief.  I am now just back on 
my Mac.  I tried to download the Apache OpenOffice but the Mac 
won’t open it so I guess I”m out of luck anyway that I 
turn.  I really hope that I never have to get another Windows 
computer again but in case I ever do and need help with your 
Apache OpenOffice is there a phone number that I can call for 
someone to walk me thru it?  I know it’s a lot to ask but 
that is really the type of help that I need.


Sincerely,

Christine Casey

A quick test: make a new Writer file (/File /New /Writer file).  In it type
dt, then press F3 key to get dummy test in the file.  Now /File 
/Save As; put Test into the File name box, Select ODF Text 
document (.odt) in the file type box (may have to scroll up or 
down using the arrow keys to select this). Make sure Automatic 
file name extension checkbox is checked.  Now /File /Close.  
Can you do all the above and reload this file?  If so, OO is 
working correctly and the problem lies in your other file, 
which we can then consider.

Thank you very much for trying to help me, I really do appreciate it very much. 
 Unfortunately I think I’m the type that needs a phone call and someone to just 
walk me thru all this because I’m just completely unfamiliar with anything past 
writing an email or going on a simple site like YouTube or something.  I don’t 
know what it means when you say “make a new Writer file ((/File/New/Writer 
file).  I just need someone to be on the phone with me and tell me exactly 
what to go to on my screen, what to click…you know, like that, step-by-step.  

I took back the Windows 8.1 Laptop that I had bought because it was just 
frustrating me beyond belief.  I am now just back on my Mac.  I tried to 
download the Apache OpenOffice but the Mac won’t open it so I guess I”m out of 
luck anyway that I turn.  I really hope that I never have to get another 
Windows computer again but in case I ever do and need help with your Apache 
OpenOffice is there a phone number that I can call for someone to walk me thru 
it?  I know it’s a lot to ask but that is really the type of help that I need.

There are OpenOffice courses in youtube, I suggest you take one, also
a book might help. I recomend Silje's books.

That type of support is only available from independent consultants and
firms that set their own price.

Some of those consultants are listed at
http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultants.html.

The consultants I've talked with, which are not listed above, charge
between the mid-3 (three) and 5 (five) digits, for a single session,
which lasts around 45 minutes.
