It is normal if the file has not been saved before the crash. In such a case, all not saved modifications are lost. 
Did you save the file just after having set the sheet protection?

Yes, I have saved it with password. But anytime if crash, the password will be lost.
Comment 5 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2014-07-22 06:34:09 UTC
Not easy to reproduce because LO don't crash for me. Please, could you attach 2 files to this bug report:
1/ a document with password protection, saved and closed just after you set the protection. Take care to not file confidential data in this document.
2/ the same document after a crash.
With both files we could investigate inside each file.

Thank you for your understanding.

Bets regards. JBF

Sorry I can not send these personal files. And crash is not frequent, so I can not yet just creat these two new files.

Hi, I'm new to the community, so I apologize in advance if I mess up the procedure a bit.

In my case, I was working with a few Firefox and Chrome windows when my laptop ran out of battery and turned off instead of just hibernating as usual (this has been happening inconsistently for a couple of months now). I think I had a password protected Calc file open, but couldn't tell for sure. I've been using it as a log for 3 or 4 years now, so I use it a lot.

When I turned the computer back on I recovered my internet pages and opened LibreOffice to create a Writer document. LibreOffice interface offered to recover the Calc file and I accepted. As it was recovered I was wondering if it was going to ask for a password or not. It didn't. The file just opened. Then I wrote something to check if it was write-enabled. It was. I saved, closed, and reopened. It just opened without asking for a password.

I changed its name and saved-as with the old name and password protection again. It seems to work fine, but I've just saved it. I'll make sure I let you know if anything happens. Hopefully it will be ok.

Regards.

Hi again. My laptop just had a problem again, the screen went black so I had to turn it off by hardware (pressing power button for 6 seconds) while definitely having the Calc file open (the fixed one I talked about in my previous comment).

So when I rebooted the system and restarted LO, it offered to recover the file and, after I accepted, asked for the password before proceeding, as it should. It's working ok now, so hard-resetting Windows is probably not the cause.

Patrick: I don't know why you set this as fixed, but the correct status after a long time in needinfo would be invalid.
Closing.
