Thanks for the thought.  It looks like the -o option gives both owner 
and user passwords.  If you look at the actual output the last two lines 
are:
found owner-password: 'situp'
found user-password: ''

the same "user-password" is found when running without the -o option.  
Gary had suggested just clicking enter when trying to open the file (no 
password).  That did not work.
