How to password protect documents?

Hi Chrishenry,

There is an easy way to protect and put a password to your document. You will need to use Winzip to compress and set a password to your files and documents.

1. Choose the file you want to put a password.

2. Right click on it and choose "Add to archive".

3. After the archive appears, select "Advanced" tab and choose "Set password." option.

4. Enter your desired password to protect your file and click "Ok".

Your documents are now protected by a password. I suggest to backup first your data (to your flash drive or other storage devices) before doing this.

If ever you forgot your password, you can still open it.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Mike

How to password protect documents?

Hi, 

 

Everyone wants to lock some documents/files/folders to prevent other users from accessing. So we can lock these by using some software e.g. Folder locker. And you can use a password to lock the documents when you use Windows Notepad. If any other users want to access your confidential documents, a password is needed. Try this.

 

a. Open Notepad and copy below codes In your notepad.

 

@ECHO OFF

Title Windows Ghost Locker Folder Locker

If no EXIST Locker 

GOTO MDLOCKER :CONFIRM

if do EXIST ""Control Panel.{ 21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"" 

goto UNLOCK

echo Do you want to the folder lock? (N/Y)

set/p ""choice=>""

if %choice%==n goto END

if %choice%==N goto END

if %choice%==y goto LOCK

if %choice%==Y goto LOCK

echo Unlock Folder Enter Password

echo Choice Invalid 

:UNLOCK

set/p ""pass=>""

if NOT %pass%==YOUR PASSWORD HERE goto FAIL

attrib -h -s ""Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}""

ren ""Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"" Locker

echo Successfully Unlocked Folder 

goto End

goto CONFIRM

:LOCK

ren Locker ""Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}""

attrib +h +s ""Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}""

echo Locked Folder 

goto end

:FAIL

echo Password Invalid 

goto end

:MDLOCKER

md Locker

echo Successfully Created Locker

goto End:End

 

Here change your own password.

 

1. Save as cmd or anyname.bat in your drive anywhere.

2. Click double to open. This command prompt will disappear and appear. A new folder name of WCG-Locker will be created.

3. Move any files to that folder that have to be locked. Then a command prompt will appear and ask you ‘Lock N/Y’. Do you want to the folder lock?(N/Y). Then the folder will be locked.

4. If you want to unlock the file, click double The Batch File. You will be asked to enter the password. Then unlocked the folder. 

5. Please be aware that other users can edit the Batch File to change password."

 

 

 

HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU.
