How can I set up password-protected Guest account

Hi everyone
I need to set up password-protected guest account. The aim is to get:
a) an account with password. So only authorized person can use it.
b) all changes in this account should be overwritten at log-off, just like Guest account behaves.
So I need either to find a way to set password for Guest, either create a 'normal' account and somehow automate it self-cleaning at logoff.
I tried to run terminal and use
sudo su
passwd Guest
[entering password 123]
Afterwards I can't login as Guest at all. System doesn't ask for a password, nor logs me in.
Thx for any help

This question was asked 2 years ago and still hasn't been answered.
If there is not a way to add a password to guest account, what is the script that get's executed when the Guest account log's off? I can execute that on an account that I create called 'localGuest' or something like that.
I have an enterprising member of my family who has figured out that my computer is exempt from the network curfew and they are using Guest to bypass that. I have since disabled guest; however, I do like using the fresh guest environment to test software development.

Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
*Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
So do not rely on it.<br />
If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system.

How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ?

How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ? if anyone have my iPad access mail or something I don't want anyone access my photos so how can I set it up.

You can't set a password for the Photos nor Mail apps, you can only set a passcode for your iPad as a whole (via Settings > Passcode).
There are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which you can copy your photos into from the Photos app (and then delete them from Photos), that app allows you (via its settings within the app) to set a password to access it.
For email you could access your email via a browser (and not have your password stored in the browser), or see if there are any email apps in your country's app store which have a password option

How can I set a password on my Mac Mini so someone else cannot open it and read emails, etc.?

How can I set a password on my Mac Mini? Someone else is reading my emails. I would like to be able to lock it so nothing on it could be seen without a password. Is that possible? How?

So uncheck the automatic login after making sure you know your password and it will require a password on startup.
You can also go into the security preferences and have the machine lock itself once the screensaver is activated. This is sometimes controlled from the screensaver preferences as well.
You could also go nuts and activate multiple users where your name appears in the menu bar. When you walk away from the machine you can use that menu to take you to the "login window", effectively locking your machine.

How can I make a password protected encrypted sparse image?

How can I make a password protected encrypted sparse image?
Doing what worked in 2006 does not produce password protection even though I have typed one in and re-entered it as requested. Clicking on the Disk image opens it without asking for the password. I am stumped. Many thanks.
(OS 10.10.2 on 2010 MacPro)

That did it. The Keychain box was automatically checked and I did not know enough to uncheck it. Many many thanks.
Yeah, nobody does. They should put up a custom password save box when you make an encrypted disk image that explains what will happen if you store the password in the keychain. In the current "how-to" article, they mention it, though: How to create a password-protected (encrypted) disk image - Apple Support

How can I set a password containing punctuation?

I tried this:
alter user <user> identified by <password>;
where <password> has punctuation. I got:
ORA-00922: missing or invalid option
so I quoted the password and got:
ORA-00988: missing or invalid password(s)
How do I set a password that contains punctuation? TIA.

Thank you very much. That worked fine. I think earlier I tried using single quotes instead of double quotes, and single quotes did not work.

How can my end user password-protect a document that has been digitally signed?

Hello,
I have seen some threads that indirectly address parts of this question, but am still left unsure about whether this process can be done - and if it can, I could use your help in understanding it - thank you.
Two of our end users use digital signatures (certificate-based) in Acrobat 9 Pro to sign documents attesting the accuracy & calibration status of lab equipment for use in a legal environment. These end users are concerned that their documents could be altered or edited, and asked me if password protection can also be applied to their documents that need to be digitally signed.
Thank you in advance for your advice.

Do you apply "Open" password or "Permissions" password or both? If you apply "Permissions" password (with or without the "Open" password) make sure that "Changes Allowed" include Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields" or "Commenting, filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields". If permissions do not allow you to sign, you cannot sign.
Be aware of the alert that Acrobat pops up when you apply "Permissions" password that all Adobe products respect permissions that you set but that 3rd-party PDF Viewers may not (and many do not).
That is exactly what I was missing! I apply only "Permissions" password, but had the "Changes Allowed" drop-down set incorrectly - it was set to "None." After changing that setting to allow "Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields," the end user was able to digitally sign the document, her desired goal.
Thank you so much.

How can I offer individual password protected pdfs on my site.

I am building a site for a client of mine. His business is a music talent agency. He would like that on the page of the individual artist, there be a link to download a pdf that only that artist can download if he/she enters a correct password. I think from reading other posts that I can simply offer a pdf download link and have that pdf password protected when I initially create the pdf itself in adobe acrobat. Are there other ways of doing this or is that the best route to go? All responses appreciated.

Hi,
For protecting PDFs, I am afraid you do need Acrobat, and here's how you accomplish applying password protection: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-tips-and-tricks/protecting-your-pdf-using-a-password/
With this approach, you may have to reassign unique passwords to PDFs and ensure right passwords are communicated to the right people (there is not sign-in option) - that may be a bit of challenge.
Alternatively, with some basic scripting you could allow right people to download the right PDFs. This will need some mapping at the DB level.
Or, you could also leverage social media and use the OAuth mechanism to ensure that the users log in via social sites to download PDFs that are unique to them. Look forward to your thoughts.
