    Create a password or change it, on the user account from your computer.
    Then create a new account for the children.

    Firefox will create a profile for each user account.

    You can create a master password on your Firefox profile.
    This leaves the work of FF, but block password manager
    until the master password is entered.

    Hello

    Windows Vista Ultimate allows me to send files to a compressed folder.  I read several answers elsewhere that you can then open the folder and select "File--> Add a password...". "to add a password.  However, I can't find it.

    Hello

    The ability to natively password - protect a zipped file was removed from Vista and Windows 7.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/can-I-protect-files-or-folders-with-a-password

    If you want to protect a zipped file, you will need to get third-party compression software that supports this.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • password protected computer running windows can be accesed If stolen

    I have a hp laptop with windows vista. I have a password at start up. my laptop was stolen today.

    I would like to know if the hard drive is removed and plugged into another computer or a usb box can be access the data without the password. any help is appreciated

    Hello

    Thanks for your reply... but from your response, it seems that the hard drive is not out of the box... There is some level of protection... What are according to you can be easily bypassed... I have the Internet was something like gains possession of the disc or something like that... I just wanted to confirm if this was the case... or is that by plugging the hard drive via a USB external box, the files are directly accessible.

  • Search inside the password protected Office 2007 files in Windows 7

    Hello:

    I see from my research online, it says cannot find in files Office 2007 password (in particular, Word and Excel 2007) protected in Windows 7.

    Is there a solution, a way to do this without removing the protection of password of all my files?

    Thank you.

    No there is no work around.  You can always search metadata, as if you have a file that I made which was protected, you can still find it by searching for author: shawn, but you would not be able to search inside of the file.

  • Windows 7 does not ask for password when password protected sharing is on.

    Hi guys,.

    I'm no stranger to permissions etc as I work in it, but it confused me after 4 hours of messing around.

    I'm trying to make sure that when I share a file on my home network that windows requires a password in order to access what it is not doing.

    The following conditions are true for both machines:

    Are windows 7 Home premium

    Have file sharing enabled on each respective network adapter

    Are members of the home network

    Are both on the network, called "WORKING group".

    Assistant file sharing was turned on and off then to make sure it wasn't an influence, it is currently off as he auto-actions the user root folder.

    Network discovery is on

    File sharing and printer is on

    I tried the two combinations of sharing folders public or not, but is currently disabled.

    Streaming media is off

    Password protected sharing is on

    Tried the two combinations of user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers. (This is currently set to allow windows to manage)

    So I won't list them the public parameters are not relevant.

    I put one hand on my laptop remove 'Everyone' and 'administrators' only have my own authorized account which is be an administrator.

    My other machine but I still seem to be able to open and access the folder. I tried to change advanced sharing permissions and security settings to exclude any group that can be let my other pc on the network but so far still no prompt for password.

    I even went to regedit and apply the following on both machines:

    1. Open Registry Editor (Start search - regedit)
    2. navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
    3. create a new DWORD value with the following properties: NAME: LmCompatibilityLevel
    VALUE: 1
    4 reboot your PC and try again to establish the connection.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you people!

    I think I've cracked the question:

    I created a new account admin on my PC and the first time I tried to access anything, I got the password. I don't have it a second time.

    I then removed and put in the passwords and then disconnected cache and back in and asked again the password.

    I tried the same thing on my other account, but it has not yet requested.

    It turns out that even on another computer, if you have the same username and password that it automatically authorizes for good once you enter the network password first.

  • need to reset password for excel password protection

    I wrote the word password but it does not work and I tried all the ones I use, you can reset the password to unlock the protected mode to work on files.

    If you have a password protected Excel or Word doc MS provides no way of editing/remove the password if you forget.

    If you are looking for through Google or Bing using appropriate search terms you will find many free utilities to overcome this obstacle.

  • I'm unable to remove the protection, when I open the file - properties - security. I don't have an option to remove protection, how can I remove it?

    I'm unable to remove the protection, when I open the file - properties - security. I don't have an option to remove protection, how can I remove it?

    Hi aymana10507726,

    With player application you can not remove the protection.

    However, you can perform using Acrobat application.

    Remove password security

    You can remove security from an open PDF if you have the permissions to do so. If the PDF is secured with a security policy based on server, only the author of policy or a server administrator can change.

    Open the PDF file, and then click Tools > Protect > Encrypt > remove security.

    Your options vary depending on the type of password security attached to the document:

    If the document contains only a Document open password, click OK to delete the document.

    If the document contains a permissions password, type it in the box, enter the password, and then click OK. Click OK again to confirm the action.

    Kind regards

  • How to password protect page (s) in Muse

    Hello world

    I need to password protect pages in Muse for an important customer.

    They say 10 portals to customers on their Web site.

    I spent 2 days on this now and not later.

    Before make us any other please DO NOT recommend those password widgets because they are unnecessary and not at all sure.

    Please see what I just wrote in my 123reg provider hosting (Apache Web server).


    I've set up a test page on my own website - password - test.html, downloaded from my site from Adobe Muse via FTP again and then the password file test.html in a folder called password.

    First, I tried the following:

    http://www.elated.com/articles/password-protecting-your-pages-with-htaccess/

    Note: I put the .htpasswd file (it's encrypted) in the root public_html not for 2 reasons:

    1) the author says he's more sure.

    2) I had no idea how to write the path if she was in the password file in the public_html.

    However, it is not good that my client needs multiple pages to be protected on their site, all different usernames and passwords.

    I used the following link and it worked it is to say I was invited for the user name and password and I could connect but instead of the test page I had set up I had my 500 custom error page.

    advanceconsult.co.uk/Password/password-test.html

    Realizing that put in the root would work for my needs, I then removed root .htpasswd and moved the folder password in the public_html and modified the .htaccess and then retested but that did not request username and password he comes to open 500 error page.

    Then, I deleted my .htaccess and .htpasswd in the password file and used your own password instead. It worked it is to say he asked me my username and password but I have not had the 500 error page only a load of headers etc. ie not the password test page.

    So, all I can think is that when the password test html page is moved to the folder that it loses its links with all the other files it calls to create the page.

    To be clear so I want to password protect say 10 different pages on the site with 10 names of distinct users and passwords (encrypted) and I need to be able to download the site of Muse to my host via FTP.

    I need an urgent resolution on this IE before Monday as I come to the client.

    Thank you all

    Mike

    Before go us any other please DO NOT recommend these password widgets because they are unnecessary and not at all safe.

    None are to some extent .htaccess and such things. I'm afraid you have a fundamental misunderstanding here. The simple answer is that what you want can be done with HTML simply and no access to the back-end server. What you have is simply a set of rules for the file and access to records, but without real authentication or encryption. Seriously, you need to consider using a dynamic interface.
