Bypass xp built-in encryption?

Hello, I have just a basic question.  My wife had encrypted to some files on my external hard drive and not knowing that she had done that I reinstalled my os.  Now I can't view or do anything with the files.  Is it possible can I post these files.  These are pictures of my new born child and my wifes pregnancy.  If there is any way possible.  Even send it to a data recovery site.  I would do anything to recover these files.  Otherwise I understand, but what I'm a little upset, is that there was no warning message indicating to save the .cert or create the ESF.  My wife said that, if there was a kind of warning that she would never have done.  in any case if anyone can help that would be great thanks.

It depends on how you have reinstalled Windows.  The key to recovery lies in recovery to the old EFS certificate, if you did a room upgrade (repair install) of the operating system, then chances are good that the old certificate may still recoverable.  If you did a clean install (format and reinstall) then chances are not good that the certificate is still salvageable.  When you format a disk files are not deleted, the index in the file is erased and rebuilt so it seems that there is no files on the operating system drive, the drive is empty and the operating system can write files anywhere where he wants and as he writes new files it penetrates in the locations of the new files in the index file so do not write again in the same area.  If you did a clean install what are the chances that new files have been written not in the area where was your old EFS certificate?  Possible but thin!  If the old certificate has been crushed then kiss of farewell files, they are lost!

If you want to attempt recovery, the first thing to do is to prevent the replacement of the certificate, immediately stop using the player where the EFS certificate was located, the drive is to be mounted in another computer to attempt to recover.  Then read here: http://www.beginningtoseethelight.org/efsrecovery/ Elcomsoft claims to be able to retrieve certificates after format and reinstall by doing a search by a sector of the disk for the old certificates, but as I mentioned earlier, if the certificate was crushed, it is gone forever!

  • Encrypting data by connecting to tdms files

    Hello

    The project I'm working on that saves its data in tdms files.

    But it is necessary to protect the intellectual property of the data, so that the client wants the encrypted data.

    Does anyone have a suggestion regarding best practices for encrypting the files in data/PDM?

    THX

    Ben Engelen

    TDMS is not a built-in encryption feature. There are several options as to how you can manage encryption.

    1. You could write a TDMS files unencrypted to the disk and encrypt it using a 3rd party software (e.g. PGP).
    2. You can use a file encrypted hard disk, partition or container you write directly the TDMS file (TrueCrypt is a good choice for this).
    3. If you consider the temporary presence of a dangerous unencrypted file, you can also encrypt all the relevant parts of the file (names of properties and vales, raw data) within your application LabVIEW and then write to PDM. Of course, you then have a player application that implements the decryption.

    Hope that helps,

  • Windows will run after the installation drive encryption?

    Hi all

    If I know, BitLocker is a service that Encrypt Drive and the data on a hard drive...

    It comes to my questions,

    -When encrypt us the drive D: BitLocker, can we still access all data on this drive? for example, I replace the installation path of the C: drive on D: drive and when encrypt us drive D:, all programs will lead to D: still work?

    -On the C: drive, should we encrypt or not?

    -When will we should use Bitlocker to encrypt the d: drive?

    Please give me a good idea please.

    Best regards

    Original title: BitLocker

    I think you should better understand what it is before ask you these questions and even considered:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766295 (v = ws.10) .aspx

    Your questions have answers such as: depends on how you set it up, if the drive is unlocked when you want to use, if you want to encrypt your user profile could and most of your data is at that time (C:\USERS\), and "what should we use ' is not something I can decipher.  Heh

    I have to store the credit cards on my server, I know, I know, bad idea, but it's something I need to do (and I know all about secruing the server, etc.).

  • Need help with printing wireless and Air of printing

    I have a Xerox printer connected to an Airport Express station and I was able to print wireless from my Mac. I just replaced the Xerox with a Brother printer which has built in WiFi and Air feel, although I can't get anything to work. I entered my password WiFi network directly on the printer. The instructions had me download the drivers that I did and I download a wireless configuration program that asked more than about nothing if I already entered my password of the WiFi network of the printer.

    1. I do not remember how I already had the Xerox facility to print wireless from my Mac. I just plugged a USB cable directly linking the Airport Express to the Brother printer to bypass the built in Brother WiFi and use the Airport Express for internet.

    2. any thoughts on the use of construction vs the Airport Express WiFi?

    3. what should I do do AirPrinting work?

    Thank you.

    I use an Epson printer set up as AirPrint rather than as a brother, but I expect the two similar configurations.

    All I had to do first was installing the printer on my network domestic wi - fi.

  • How to remove iphone backup current password (do not remember) and set a new?

    I want to backup my iPhone 5 s before installing the next update of the os, but don't remember the password encrypted backup. I would like to delete the previous backups and the password and create a new backup with a new password. How do I do that?

    You can't do it. If you could it would be a huge security hole. Your choice is to guess the password, or to save on iCloud (which is automatically encrypted using the phone built in encryption).

    If you want to try guessing click 'Change password' in iTunes, as it ask the password immediately. You get unlimited assumptions. If you're like most people, it's a password you have used in the past.

  • How to download pictures from a card of 4 GB SanDisk SDHC on my PC under Windows XP?

    I inserted the SD card into the reader on my computer, but I guess that's not read my card for some reason any. I used the same card on other computers and it worked, but it doesn't work on mine. Any suggestions cause obviously none of the "support" people cannot help me.

    If you have received technical support, but they could not help, then it is unlikely that we can do better, unless you can explain what they did or said about your question.

    However, since it is built in card reader, then it might be covered by the warranty.  or there may be solutions / faq of on the device to your host site computers under the heading for your model number.

    It is likely that your built in card reader is simply faulty or not initialized / activated.  Maybe it's unplugged from the motherboard.  Maybe there's an update to the bios of your motherboard.

    in all cases, if spending any time or money on it are inconvenient, so the alternative is that there are inexpensive usb card readers available multi generic for buy and bypass the built in question you have.

  • Windows XP Media Center Edition computer will not start.

    When it starts, I get a BootMagic screen that allows me to choose the normal Windows operating system or partition DOS6. The next screen is text offering choices such as: Safe Mode, last known good Windows, normal windows, etc. None of the choices do something else that restart the boot process.
    I have backups of the C: drive in real Image files and ntbackup. I would like to make a bootable cd or dvd with the files needed to be able to copy the data on another dvd or on the local network to another computer. This computer was made by the gateway. No real installation CD were provided, just a "operating system Disk' which is of no use. The disk has been partitioned as C: D: K: etc. I added a 40 GB IDE drive, which is where half the data is I want back. I can 'see' readers when I boot from an old CD disk to Image, but may not see the LAN or write in the CD burner. Basically, should what files I put on a cd to boot?

    Well, almost a month since the gateway computer's dead, and I do not have anything on it. Spent a lot more time for the new computer with Windows 7 to run my most used programs: WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3. According to me, that you gave me a choice when I reinstalled Windows 7 to use either 64 or 32-bit. If I had a choice, it is 64. At this point, I wish I had chosen 32, due to all the incompatibilities resulting in 64. I doubt that there are real benefits for me. One thing they point out is his ability to deal with > 4 GB of RAM. This computer has 2.

    What I installed was XP HP discs received with a laptop period of 2002. Probably violates some policy Windows, but my rationalization was that bridge should have on giving me the opportunity to re - install the Windows XP Media Center edition. I prefer to get this OS works because it has a smooth operation built in encryption system.
    I tried to use the provided gateway recovery cd again, but not long after starting it fails with a 'memory overflow, please insert another disk' message. Gateway support has not been cooperative, so I can try again. I think that they have it for me.

    The XP system is running on a 40 GB IDE drive that I had added to the computer. There are too many error messages trying to install an operating system on theoriginal 250 GB SATA drive.

  • Can HP 17-J005EA I switch to a SSD

    Hi all

    How do I know who and what makes the SSD are compatible with this laptop *.

    My new laptop is amazing and I am very satisfied with the performance. But... I do not understand for a laptop for the price of... Well, we know the price, it did not have an SSD as drive and a HARD drive as your secondary HARD drive. Why HP had no 7200 RPM HARD drive instead of 5400 RPM I'll never know. 5400 RPM for a HARD drive in a laptop with a high spec is amazing.

    I would like to change the HARD disk from primary to a 240 GB SSD, but I am concerned about the warranty on the laptop. Everything I'm doing upgrades the main HARD drive to a SSD drive that would not only to improve the performance of the laptop. I built and now my own custom built for 15 years and only recently built drilling rigs a new rig custom which is a Coolermaster COSMOS II and I don't skimp on the custom versions as this matter is very expensive.

    I don't see there a problem with the upgrade of the HARD primary for one SSD drive to be honest, I am an experienced system integrator and I would like to put Windows Pro 8.1 on this SSD instead of the default win 8 STD. I created a PID and CFG files in order to bypass the built-in license key, so I can install Windows 8 Pro.

    Thanks in advance

    Enjoy Christmas and a happy new year to everyone at HP and the HP forum. You have been so helpful, and I really appreciate your help.

    Are you sure that your laptop has not already a disk configuration hard mSATA as memory cache?

    Use the HP Envy 17 Notebook Maintenance & Service guide to get the specs for one SSD that will work with your laptop.

    As far as brands go, it's your choice. I advise you to buy an SSD with a upgrade kit (usb to SATA cable & software of cloning). I suggest a brand like Corsair. They make and sell hard drives SSD as autonomous disks and Portable SSD upgrade kits. I have one of the kits and the upgrade went perfectly.

  • RESOLVED: Why Fusion 6 displays a duplicate VM?

    I had 2 VM before I upgraded to Fusion 6, when I was on the Fusion 5 it just showed the two of them as it should. However, after the upgrade, I see an extra 'Windows 8 '. When I am connected to the virtual computer if I click on 'Windows 8' or ' Windows 8 x 64 ", they both pull up to the same preview." I wonder if they are related somehow? Just for clarity I want to consolidate it down to a virtual machine, in particular because it is a virtual machine. In addition, I do not understand the small lock on the 'Windows 8' x 64' icon, it never goes away. Can someone help me to merge the two somehow?

    http://i.imgur.com/rdHGXV7.png

    In looking at ~/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmInventory this file shows that the 'Windows 8' and 'Windows 8 x 64' entries in the library Virtual Machine are the same, based on the location and the UUID.  What's interesting is the 'Windows 7 Ultimate x 64' Machine virtual everything showing on ~/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized / (.localized extension is hidden by default) in the vmInventory however is does not exist according to the output of the command ls on the record of Machines.localized / ~/Documents/Virtual and no support information have been collected for it.

    In any case, I'm not sure why 'Windows 8' and entries "Windows 8 x 64" exist for the same VM however being the information collected for the entry of "Windows 8 x 64" I say that it was safe to delete the "Windows 8" entry of the Virtual Machine library although to play safety click on keep the file on the sheet to remove Virtual Machine. "" "»

    Also, I see that the Virtual Machine uses the builtin encryption and personally I wouldn't use it unless you are trying to manage specific features, but use a product Commercial WDE.  Anyway being absolutely sure you keep adequate backups especially the .vmx config file if you use the built-in encryption, VMware Fusion because if this file gets damages, that is the case, it must be replaced by a valid current backup otherwise, you lose all access recoverable hard drive virtual encrypted!

  • Methods to secure PDF files against third party releasers

    I have not tested their claims, but www.pdfunlock.com and www.guapdf.com both claim to be able to bypass any security Acrobat encryption up to 256-bit version 11. And I guess that any new version to come out.

    (Acrobat can completely stop the ability to edit a PDF file, or do I have something like a) LockLizard, or b) a converter to my PDF file in a series of images, if I want to secure my data?

    That's why Adobe gives a warning light when you set security this third-party tools it can not comply.

    The problem is that the security of password is part of the published ISO standard which anyone can follow, and some programmers choose to ignore safety rules.

    You might consider certificate-based security. This works if you did an exchange of certificates secured with the recipient. Only the recipient has the key to decrypt.
