is that bug or feature - magic passwords for Excell 2003/2007
 
Hi,

I'm just wondering is that "feature" or "bug"?
I've found two sets of magic password's combinations:

try protect sheet with "en" and you're able to unlock it with "se"!
the same for "fo" and "tf"

so passwords like 123en345 and 123se345 are THE SAME!!!

any comments?
