Had the same problem a month ago researched and googled for days, the
only solution I found was to request the password.

I have seen that support for opening password protected will be included in
OO 3.2 which is due for release very soon, and that will resolve this issue
- but I am not sure when soon will be! It did look like release was going to
go ahead but then I saw at
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=99999
there was an additional release blocker a few days ago so I don't know what
the current situation is?
Anyway I hope that OO 3.2 does get released soon as this is a notty problem
for me until OO 3.2 is available.
