Description: To regain access to a very important password-protected spreadsheet I had to uninstall LibreOffice v. 24.2.0.3 and replace it with LibreOffice v.7.6.4.1 This solved the problem. My OS is Win 7 Ultimate x64. The spreadsheet password is 8 chars long and includes latin letters, digits and a single non-letter character form the first half of the ASCII table. The spreadsheet accessibility problem happened after updating the LibreOffice to version 24.2.0.3 Steps to Reproduce: 1.Take any password-protected odt spreadsheet created in LibreOffice Calc prior to version 24.2.0.3 2.Try to access the sheet opening it in LibreOffice Calc v. 24.2.0.3 3. Actual Results: Access to the spreadsheet denied. Expected Results: Spreadsheet opened successfully Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: The software stubbornly denied access to the spreadsheet reporting wrong password entering.

Whether 32 or 64 bits, there seems to be some problem with password protected files in windows 7, apparently related to bcrypt.dll. If possible, could you please try to open the same files with the same newer version of LO 24.2+ on some OS other than Windows 7? In the meantime, I am setting this report as a duplicate of bug 159512. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 159512 ***
