    Dom answer was correct. If you don't have the password, AbiWord won't
    open it.

    BTW, I do not recommand anyone to tell how to that in a public mailing
    list, because otherwise you may be caught by the FBI (if you are in the
    USA) for violation of DMCA [1]. Of course IANAL [2], but I just wanted
    to tell that.

    [1]: I mostly disagree with that, but that is it.
    [2]: I A Not A Lawyer. If you want legel advice, talk with a real
    lawyer.
