>Description:
I have an old Impress file that was created using OpenOffice 3.3 with password protection. When attempting to open it in LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 on FreeBSD. It says the password is incorrect. I can open the file in LibreOffice 3.5 on Windows and using OpenOffice 3.4 on FreeBSD

I believe LibreOffice on Ubuntu had a similar problem that had to do with the change in the default encryption methods used by LibreOffice. However, I can't find any links that directly address it.

>How-To-Repeat:
Create password protected file using OpenOffice 3.3 or 3.4 on any platform. 
Attempt to open file using LibreOffice on FreeBSD 8.3 amd64.Popup says: The password is incorrect. The file cannot be opened."
Attempt to open file using OpenOffice 3.4 on FreeBSD 8.3 amd64: File opens without any problem.
Attempt to open file using OpenOffice 3.4 on Windows: File opens without any problems.
