Um...

Think about it... if you could load a file that was password protected, it
wouldn't be a good protection scheme... I don't think anyone out there will
be able to tell you how to break Lotus' protection scheme, and if they could,
I would hope they wouldn't so those of us who use this on networks and on
easily accessable machines can feel (somewhat) safe in leaving protected files
lying around...
