Restoration of the protected passwords

so, I recently had an accident involving my drive C: (a small 30 GB SSD). long story short the only thing I took charge and worried for my firefox settings. I got my favorites and what seems to be my password for my connections.

Bookmarks work as should, but I can't seem to get my password to work. the original installation had a set master password so I used the same password for the new installation of firefox, but it doesn't seem to work. what I am doing wrong?

I was told to replace the following files with the originals:

Key3.SQLite
signons.txt
Key3.DB

IM starting to freak out, because I remember only maybe 3 of all my passwords saved so Yes if I can't get this to work of the IM in trouble, so any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hello

  • the antivirus application detects the protected password file?

    Dear experts,

    Hello

    If I have an antivirus application or gateway antivirus, it detects viruses as embeded in a file (for example excel sheet) which is protected by a password?

    and a second question please,

    the antivirus application detects a virus in a compressed file as compressed or winrar file?

    Thanks a lot for your help

    Makar

    Makar,

    In general, files protected by password are encrypted content cannot be parsed, so the answer to the first question is no. For the second question, is based on the AV vendor, but most of the big names can also scan zipped files.

  • Remove or disable the protection password for the user account

    I have two accounts on my computer to my name. One is an administrator account. The other is a local account. I use the local one for all my general purpose computer. The administrator of one I use only to make changes. I created a password for what I believed to be the administrator account. Actually, I created a password for my local account. Now, I have to sign before I can use the computer. I can't find a way to remove or disable the password without deleting my local account. If I delete the account I'll lose everything in the account. We know how if it is possible to delete or disable a password protected account password?

  • To combine files, custody conversion fails with red notice that document if the protected password. What does that mean and how do I?

    To combine files, conversion can fail with a red notice that the document is password protected. I combines all pdf files and had to be managed with the same content under a different file name. What is the problem and how can I fix it?

    Hey SUSANOO.

    I'm sorry, but you cannot combine files if they are protected by Word.

    You can check the same slot "file > properties > Security"

  • BlackBerry smartphones IS INSTALLING IN BB PROTECT PASSWORD RESET RESET THE DEVICE PASSWORD

    1st post ever.

    BB TORCH 9800 IS RUNNING ON T-MOBILE UK NETWORK PIN PROTECTED

    I started with the BB BOLD in 2009 and moved to BB TORCH 2011 when I had an option of upgrading, so I'm pretty familiar with BB.

    My device is protected by BB and there's the option of password reset on the leg for the identification of BB. What I'm not clear all is if this resets the password to access BB Protect or it can reset the password for the device. I'm on my attempt at entry 9 password, and here's how I got here.

    Summer using the phone as normal through today. I have the protect of spindle of 10 minutes, i.e. whenever the phone is idle, he hangs himself. PIN protection also need to install the software etc, so I must have unlocked the phone at least 12 times or more today.

    As usual, I've unlocked the phone 2 hours ago to send and receive BBM PINES of a couple of friends who have stopped. The only thing that struck me is that one of them used a BB Pearl and the BBM PIN is all non-alphanumeric numbers. After they were gone, thought I'd check on my emails and tried to unlock the phone as usual, and he kept on the return "Incorrect password." I couldn't believe it that's a pin Digital and thought it was a mistake and continued.

    By my 7th attempt, put the sim in a spare handset and called my operator T-Mobile, they said there was nothing they could do, I had to enter in contact with the RIM. Put the sim card in my BB Torch and gave him another chance (at that time it asks you to type in "blackberry" and your password in clear text)

    Fortunately, I had BB protect enabled, I signed the and saved my camera.

    Under the my device tab, you can change the password for the device. T o do you need to enter the existing password (known), enter a new password and then click on the locking device. Done everything that he went and came back to say this device has failed.

    Tried to unlock the unit 9th attempt.

    What are my options?

    The BlackBerryID reset password affects ONLY the password of the BlackBerryID... NO password security of the device itself. Two completely different things.

    It's weird, but not impossible. I've seen a lot of BlackBerry wants a digital-only PIN. Not much.

    It has nothing to do with you the problem.

    I guess it's that you have entered your only security digital password wrong... only not by pressing the ALT key to make the number.

    Often users with more than one digit in their password will only press the ALT key to the first digit and not those who follow, so for example, if your password "1234", you could put pressure on 'Alt 1234 "on the device, making the real password to be"1st".

    Who is? It sounds familiar to your use?

    In order to verify the manner in which you enter your password on the device... do you think that you enter several numbers, but in fact are not?

  • Original image has disappeared I think off the hard drive and the BIOS password set up does not work?

    Someone please help me with this!

    I bought this laptop from a friend (have receipt) who sell it to me because the screen was cracked and spidered all out when you the activated. And everywhere he went to ask to get the screen fixed it is very expensive ($250 - $350) and he said that it would be just a newer laptop. So he sold me this which is a model Probook of HP4420s XT940UT #ABA. About a week after I bought this Probook friend who sold it to died me suddenly. It was sudden and terrible. Some time later, I had the time of the purchase of the LCD for this model, replace it myself (was very easy actually) and booted up the laptop with a new installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Edition. After installing all my software and using the laptop for a while now, I wanted to get into the Bios that I've never done. So when I started the laptop, click ESC, then F10 to enter the BIOS, there were two places to enter a password is different then all Dell I've ever owned. One was mine I guees I put in place using HP protect tools and the other says BIOS/administrator. Well I can do most of the changes with the one I put in place with my password but my password does not work, nor can I get in some very significant changes that I wanted to do using Bios/administrator, as kindling the LoJack, namely the blocking of the hard drive etc. , turning on turbo boost, fan, etc. Well, since the person I bought is no longer with us, there is no one to turn to the answer to this question of administrator/BIOS password / problem.  I tried to take battery Rtype and restore that way, didn't work. Several times, I called HP and they sent me to a BIOS page to download the same BIOS, I have already, would not let me install it. When I bring up the command prompt and do not put anything in BiosConfigureUtility.exe happens, said just a wrong command. When I try to enter the BIOS through the C: file in the files of the SSM, I reach the BiosConfigUtility.exe file, click on it to open it and it just flashes a way small order page to fast to read what it says. I would like to have complete control over my laptop thinking I have a lot of time and money invested in it now. The problem would have something to do with installing the 64 bit version of Windows 7 instead of the 32 bits guess what it initially provided with?  Where can I find the UUID and what tech Department I would ask because if I have to call HP again and what other information should I have ready for them if you know? I have all the manuals and they say that this laptop is compatible with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit Pro is what I installed. I'm mixed responses from many different people on this and would like an answer from HP someone who has experience in dealing with the BIOS in the Probooks business models if possible please. I really like this Probook and have since become a big fan of most HP, Dell and Lenovo.  I intend to buy two probooks, one for my wife and one for my daughter because this one is like a MacBook, but better.  Thank you for reading this and I hope someone can help with more than one answer then GET AHOLD OF HP TECHNICAL TEAM. As I said, I did it.

    Model: HP Probook 4420 s

    Type: XT940UT #ABA

    Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate

    BIOS version: 68AHHH Ver.F.20

    SM BIOS Version: 2.6

    Hardware Extraction layer: Version 6.1.7601.17514

    Sorry to hear about your friend and your problem.  The BIOS password cannot be reset without the help of HP.  They will need some information from your PC and increase your case.  I recommend you give them a call.

  • Need to enter the administrator password before I can download the software upgrade

    I found I need to install an upgrade of the software, but cannot do without an ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD ... which I don't have (or I had not one when I implemented that stand-alone pc, or I forgot whether I don't have an administrator password to use).

    Can someone tell me how to find what it is, how to change it, or how to make my normal "logon" Administrator status (without having to set an administrator password, because that's the problem I have).

    I tried various methods, but everyone tells me that I need the ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD and so I'm stuck.

    I've seen a lot of suggestions for the windows password (which I guess is different for the ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD), because none of the suggestions for this work without an administrator password.

    Hello Jules.

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

    1. is the issue specific to the installation of software updates?
    2. what troubleshooting have you done when you say, 'I have tried different methods?

    Thank you for details on the question and your efforts to resolve.

    This problem may occur either if the user account control settings can not correct because of where it stops installation or there is a problem with the registry keys that control the installation of a program.

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:
    Run this Microsoft fixit and check.
    Reference:
    The problems that the programs cannot be installed or uninstalled
    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall

    If this does not help, use method 2.

    Method 2:
    Disable user account control and then try to install the software updates.
    Reference:
    Disable UAC in Windows 8
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/hyperyash/archive/2012/07/18/disabling-user-account-control-in-Windows-8.aspx

    Important notes:

    Control (UAC) user account can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

    Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
