The password isn't the empty string, i don't get the a read view to insert the password, the File > Password menu is disabled, and i haven't successfuly open this file. It is from a college web page. The teacher gave us the password and my colleagues (i believe using Windows) have opened the file with no problems (i don't know using which program).
All i get when I open the file is "The document could not be open". The only explanation i get is that the file might be corrupt, but there are several password-protected files I can't open, all from the same Teacher, and other people have opened them.
