I can confirm this and my diagnosis is the same. The sequence to reproduce is
(Win 7, AOO 4.1.5):
1 Tools > Options > Load/Save > General. Tick Save AutoRecovery information
every [ 1] minutes.
2 Open password protected file fred.ods. This creates an encrypted copy of
fred.ods in C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\. There is no problem with this
file as it is encrypted.
3 Do some edits. Wait until an AutoRecovery takes place.
4 AutoRecovery creates a file
C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4\user\backup\fred.ods_0.ods. This
file is not encrypted.
5 Cause AOO to crash by TaskManager > Processes. Highlight scalc.exe >
right-click > End process tree. AOO crashes and leaves
C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4\user\backup\fred.ods_0.ods.
(Note TaskManager > Applications > OpenOffice Calc > END PROCESS does not crash
AOO - it brings up the SAVE or CANCEL screen.)
6 Start AOO. You are given the Recovery screen. Accept. When AOO recovers
fred.ods, AOO finds
C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4\user\backup\fred.ods_0.ods and
opens it - as it is not encrypted it opens without a password.
The problem has been reported in the forum as "File password disappeared after
user profile reset" at
