Other than a brute force or dictionary approach to finding the password
there's not an easy way around this

As long as you "own" the intellectual property we can probably tell you the
password. You will need to email me the presentation and it will need to be
today or there may be a bit of a delay as we are on our way to France. Don't
bother sending it if you're trying to break into someone else's presentation
we wont help!
