<pre>Description:
I have a document ("banking.ods") that I've been editing for years with
LibreOffice Calc. It is a LibreOffice password-protected file.
I last worked with that file around mid January, 2021 (I do monthly dumps of
personal finances into that file). On 2021-02-14 I tried to open that file,
but I received this warning:
"The password is incorrect. The file cannot be opened."
I have rsync backup copies of that file (hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/...; same
file name but different path), on a separate (local) hard drive, that I also
cannot open with the recent LibreOffice Calc version. Again, before this issue
I was able to open those copies with LibO Calc.
Interestingly, I am able to use the current (installed) version of LibreOffice
Calc to open OTHER password-protected .ods files that I previously
(months/years ago) edited/password-protected with older LibreOffice versions.
It is not a Caps Lock, nor a file permissions ... issue.
Likewise, restarting LibreOffice in Safe Mode with a new profile did not help.
I downgraded my Arch Linux LibreOffice installation to some earlier versions
(most distant tried: libreoffice-still-6.4.7-8), without success in opening
that LibreOffice password-protected file.
System info:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Restart in Safe Mode.
2. Downgraded installed LibO version.
3. Usual sanity checks: Caps Lock; ...
Actual Results:
See Description.
Expected Results:
Expected ability to open (LibO) password-protected Calc .ods file.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
The current version of LibreOffice Calc should open my password-protected
spreadsheet.
I did an extensive internet search for a solution and posted to two LibreOffice
user/discussion forums, with no solutions found.
In my opinion, this is a serious issue. I have a multi-year financial
spreadsheet (personal finances) that I can no longer decrypt, hence the loss of
that data.</pre>
