Hi :) There are several things that can be encrypted. It could be the entire hard-drive (partition really) or just a folder or just the file itself. Also i think it's possible to "password-protect" a file without encrypting it or set the file to read-only so that the data is available but can't be over-written.
I think the only way to know if you can open the file is to try it. At my work they tried to protect a file so that no-one could open it or read it but with LibreOffice on Gnu&Linux it opened read-only with no trouble.
