<reservationPassword> (Write Reservation Password)

Specifies the hash of the password required for editing this workbook. This hash is optional and may be ignored. The hash is generated from an 8-bit wide character. 16-bit Unicode characters must be converted down to 8 bits before the hash is computed, using the logic defined in the @revisionsPassword attribute of §3.2.29.

The resulting value is hashed using the algorithm defined below.

Note: 
// Function Input:
//    szPassword: NULL terminated C-Style string
//    cchPassword: The number of characters in szPassword (not including the NULL terminator)
WORD GetPasswordHash(const CHAR *szPassword, int cchPassword) {
      WORD wPasswordHash;
      const CHAR *pch;
 
      wPasswordHash = 0;
 
      if (cchPassword > 0)
            {
            pch = &szPassword[cchPassword];
            while (pch-- != szPassword)
                  {
                  wPasswordHash = ((wPasswordHash >> 14) & 0x01) | ((wPasswordHash << 1) & 0x7fff);
                  wPasswordHash ^= *pch;
                  }
            wPasswordHash ^= (0x8000 | ('N' << 8) | 'K');
            }
      
      return(wPasswordHash);
}
