How can i set password for a backup?
::I am using 10g xe
I am gettin gbackup through RMAN, how can i set password for each backup? I want to protect my backup so that no one other could use it if he copies the backup files.
FaheemJust use "SET ENCRYPTION ON IDENTIFIED BY password ONLY" command in your RMAN scripts. Look at the advanced backup manual for details: http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmbackp006.htm#sthref632

HT1338 How can i set password for my folder?
How can i set a password for my folder?
Mac OS X does not natively include a method for passwording only selected folders. You can either get a third-party utility such as Knox (from AgileBits) or you can create an encrypted disk image (using Disk Utilty) and keep the files you wish protected in that disk image.

How can i set password for my n8?
I'm sure it's easy but i didn't know how....can you also tell me how can set my picture to be save on the Mass storage .....
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.The default saving location is the Mass storage of the phone, however as Aspergerguy said if you have a micro sd card installed you can choose that as default saving location.
There is a downloadable app called MazeLock where you need to draw a pattern on the screen to unlock the phone. If you like that sort of thing you can download it from HERE.
I did use it for a bit, but found it annoying to unlock the phone every time I wanted to use it.
Cheers.

How can I set password for email access to prevent other from reading my mails?
If i go to settings and erase my password that wont work. What can I do?
Either access it via web mail only where you'll have to enter user name and password every time, or put the passcode lock on your ipad itself, locking down the whole device

Hello,
I downloaded fully virtualized image "Oracle Enterprise Linux release 4 Update 5 x86" from here http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/virtualization/vm_templates.html , it boots up correctly, but i cannot login to the VM. Does anybody know what is the root password??? or any other idea??
thanksI did not find the password either. Seems to be a template very hotly stuffed together.
I used knoppix and mount, chroot and passwd to change the root password to my likening. beware, the 10GB templates use lvm, so you need vgscan & vgchange -a y as well. -
I cannot recover my Master Password under 10.6.8. I want to change it. I do have my admin password for my account. How can I create a new master pw?
If you are referring the Master Password that can be set in System Preferences>Security>FileVault, then see this thread:
How to reset FileVault master password
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5822772
As explained there, and for obvious security reasons, a new master password created in this fashion way will not unlock any pre-existing FileVault accounts. Resetting the master password is therefore only useful after you turn off FileVault in all existing accounts. You can then turn FileVault back on after the new master password is in place. -
cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it . i can download apps and music. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?
I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first. -

What is password for root? Where can I find it?
wireless connection process is asking for password for root in the authentication process, where can I find it? thanks
hello, this is probably asking for the administrator/root account for your linux device which most probably was specified during the initial setup of the device. this is not related to firefox in particular, so i'm afraid we cannot provide you more details or a solution...

My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account for both our iPhones, but she wants separate apps from mine. How can I set up a second account in her name, delete the apps on her phone and start from scratch with just the apps she wants on her phone?
If you have the old phone, connect it to iTunes, right click on the device, and choose transfer purchases. If you no longer have the old phone, I don't believe there is a way to recover them, as they were on your original device.
