Any password is safe

If I have my iMac password 2011 protected by passwords 8 characters including letters and numbers, letters and special characters is safe is my data if given to a company it Department without the password?  I don't have time to encrypt.  If the password is not enough, I'll have to make a secure erase and then install a clean OS.

Without encryption, they would still be able to access your data to start up your Mac from a Linux live CD (if any distro provides support to format HFS +), to reset your user password or by plugging the hard drive of your iMac to another Mac through target disk Mode. If you are worried about your privacy the data, perform a secure erase and reinstall OS X (and don't forget to encrypt your disk with FileVault after getting your Mac repaired), but I don't think they have a look at your data

  • I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password.

    Default password Machine virtual XP Mode

    I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password. Please giveme the default password

    If you're talking about XP Mode the default password is XPMUser.  In general you can not use Windows without a password in Windows Virtual PC that you can with Virtual PC 2007 and before.  XPMUser is used only with the XP Mode virtual machine.  All other virtual machines requires a user created password.  If you have changed the password in XP Mode and forgotten, then you have to start over.

    Windows Virtual PC is based on virtual server rather than VPC and all virtual machines need a password.  If necessary, uninstall the integration features, start the virtual machine and create a password for the admin user.  Restart the virtual machine, and then reinstall the integration features.  You will not be able to access a virtual machine created by the user that has no password, while the integration features are installed.  Once you have everything right, that a virtual machine will not be asked a password if you are the admin user in Windows 7.

  • My BlackBerry Q10 Q10 BlackBerry was stolen. The device password is safe?

    Hello world

    Today, someone stole my phone while I was on the train.

    I have locked my beloved BBQ10 with a password via BlackBerry Protect, disabled my SIM card... and oops. I can't send any new order because my sim card no longer works. I've seen on forums that my operator cannot reactivate the SIM card (I hope he can, I'll make a phone call tomorrow).

    I have ALL my files, accounts of messaging, photos and notes on this phone. I already changed the password of my email accounts, etc... But I'm worried about the stuff I have inside this phone.

    My phone is safe, even with a password?

    It is said that the next time that my BBQ10 will be connected to the network, my device will be wiped. But friends tells me that the password will not lock my phone too long. I'm a little afraid.

    Thank you.

    Your data are safe, once the thief or whoever it is, try the tenth incorrect password entry, the unit will immediately and automatically, in a wipe of security data, the personal information, contacts, etc. Map of the media is NOT wiped off, the memory of the device.

  • Windows 7 accepts any password.

    Hello, I have a Sony Vaio with Windows 7, 32 bit Enterprise laptop, I created a password for my personal account and one for the administrator account.

    But when I try to connect, I put any character in the password field and Windows 7 accepts it and access my profile correctly.
    When I connect with the administrator account, the same thing happens, I put any character and I get access.
    Normally, it sends a wrong password error, but no.
    When the screen saver is active and shows once again the login screen, I can press on enter only and Windows 7 accepts.
    I tried to change the password and I created new users and profiles with new passwords anda happens to be always the same.
    There is a great difficulty, anyone can access my personal files. Please help me with a solution.

    I have worked with Windows for more years than I care to think about and I never fell on a case like this, not even in the countless forum posts I read, therefore my suspicions regarding a third party agent. I can see these options for you:

    • See if the problem persists when the safe boot mode.
    • See if another respondent resumes the thread, maybe a Microsoft Engineer.
    • Perform a system restore (only works if it is a recent problem)
    • Live with the problem.
    • Perform a factory restore.
    • Give me remote access to your machine. There is a small chance I could see something you missed.

    Help, please! I go back to using Firefox again.

    Thank you

    Hi onceuponaderek, when you say that Firefox crashes, Windows 'No response' appears in the title bar, or what are the other symptoms meet you? Do you get unusual disk or CPU Meanwhile activity, or Firefox seems to be to do nothing?

    Can remember you something special happening before this problem, such as:

    • Other system software to a Windows Update or drivers?
    • Update your security software?
    • Changes to the connection to the network, including the private proxy or VPN, you can use?
  • Unable to start up normally, or any feature of safe mode

    I am unable to start up normally, and I'm unable to boot in safe mode functions.

    When it does not start normally, I get on the desktop with ICONS No. nor START BUTTON.

    I am operating Windows XP SP2 on a Dell Latitude D610 (Laptop).  "Cannot open Volume for Direct access.

    I need advice on that.  Help, please!

    We got a lot of insight.

    First, you need to get your work desk in order to have room for manoeuvre, then you can solve your problem of potential malware.

    What you describe is a situation where the process explorer.exe does not work (probably due to malware).  Think the explorer.exe process IS your desktop... then you must start it manually for now.  If it does not, you will have only wallpaper.

    Of your background image, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager.

    Look at the processes tab and if the process explorer.exe is not running, start it as follows:

    In Task Manager, click file, new task, and in the Open box, enter:

    %windir%\explorer.exe

    Click OK and see if get you your office.

    So if you are able to get into the Internet, follow these steps:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    Restart and see what things look like.

    That alone cannot resolve, but if all goes well with the deleted malware, then PaulAuckNZ can help to mop up any problems.

  • How can I ANY password protect my laptop? -SOLVED

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 installed on my PC. I have only one account user and I created the password for her. I heard that the password for the user account can be hacked, so I wonder if there is any additional protection? BIOS password? Also, I've heard of Linux hacks for Windows. How I TOTALLY prevent the others who specialize in hacking password to access my files? Is it possible somehow?

    Imagine this real life situation: someone is turn on my laptop. It is:
    1. specialized in hacking password
    2 not interested to reinstall the system
    3. try to access my files.
    Your job is to avoid him to do this.
    Ask for more information if you need. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Tips for creating (your own unique) strong password - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Tips-for-creating-strong-passwords-and-passphrases

    Do not use the administrator account of systems for the use of "everyday" If you can avoid it. Create a separate user account and use it for your normal use of the PC on a daily basis. Only "run as Administrator" as and when you really need to. The two passwords must be different and hard. This will help if your PC is attacked or hacked because they will not be able to access the level of your PC as your user zone administrator. Its just good practice to not use Admin all the time. - Http://www.pcworld.com/article/171933/manage_users_in_windows_7.html gives the GENERAL idea.

    You can create new accounts to the need and change the passwords and security levels as needed. For example - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-windows-password#change-windows-password=windows-7 or via 'change your password '. See also "change your account type" to change the security level of the accounts. As a general rule, you must have an administrator account on the system (some people say having an Admin account backup infrequently used with a password different on the system as well - just in case) and a per-user account that is normally used account.

    NOTE: cannot insist on this point, if you take these steps to make sure that you remember your passwords for your accounts.

  • Jabber (movi) newspaper in VCS/TMS users with any password successfully!

    Hi all

    I'm having this strange problem.

    I have configured TMS for the provision of scopes, but I just noticed something very strange.

    When I log in as any user, when I put a password in there I can successfully log in as a user.

    I tried the passwords on the wall to multiple users, and they continue to succesfully connect you regardless of password!

    Anyone have any ideas on what this could be?

    These users have been added manually.

    Thank you

    I got the same results as well, I found is that the default Zone has been set up to "treat as certified. It should either be "do not verify the credentials" or "verify the credentials.

  • I don't know any password for the digital signature or the different menu options to remove the same. I need a new digital signature file, or the possibility of placing my signature on a document, as I did for years.

    Remove a digital signature, you need some other password that I do not have. It is clearly not the same as the one I use to connect to this Web site.

    I want to remove the old one and put in a new one, with a new password.  I have Acrobat XI running on a mac with OS 10.10.3.

    Hi Jimster,

    You can create a new without deleting the existing one.

    Open Acrobat > edit > Preferences > signature > identities & certificates secure > more > digital IDs > add ID.

    Let us know if you face any problem.

    Thank you!
