Create encrypted password for nsmb.conf

I'd like to store my password in encrypted form in ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf like so:
[myserver]
address=myserver.com
[myserver:user]
password=encryptedpasswordhere
Unfortunately, I cannot find a tool to create an encrypted password - smbutil does not provide the 'crypt' command on OS X.
Thanks in advance for a hint,
Jan

Try a restart and see if you get the same behavior. Since you just created it, you may have access to it.

Reset encryption password for NEW iPhone backups

Hello Everyone,
I have an iPhone and iPad which are currently working perfectly. However during testing I figured out that I somehow lost my iTunes backup encryption password. As such I figured I would just change the backup password, delete the old backups, and create NEW backups for which I do know the password to and all would be good (and ready for a future device failure.)
However it appears that iTunes will not allow you to change or disable the encryption password for NEW backups without first knowing the old encryption password. Does anyone know if a way around this?
Thank you for your time.

Thanks!

I was told to create a password for my itunes backup, which i did. Now its telling me my passwords is incorrect. I dont know what to do because i am locked out of my phone and don't remember its password.

I forgot the password to unlock my phone. I read online to go to itunes and create an encrypted password for my backup and then sync my phone and then restore it. But now, when i try to enter my passcode into itunes to backup, it tells me it is incorrect. I don't know what to do.. I am locked out of my phone and my itunes backup. please help me

The backup encryption passcode has nothing to do with locking a user out of their backup.
If the encryption passcode has been forgotten, nothing can be done. There is no reset for the encryption passcode.
Delete the backup and create a new one.

If you encrypted the backup, there is no way around it. You will need to configure your iPhone as a new device.
From iTunes: About iOS backups:
In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

When trying to update Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps? Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Is there a way to create a password for Firefox so Firefox is denied access to the internet without this password?

Is there a way to create a password for Firefox to deny Firefox access to the internet?

There is the Profile Password extension, but it is easily bypassed by using the Firefox SafeMode.

Another thing you can do is to set your Homepage to a website that you have a password logon saved for and use the Master Password feature. It won't completely stop someone else from using the internet but it will slow them down or make it appear they need a password for access.

I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now my encryption passwords for my iPhone and iPad don't work.

I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now my encryption passwords for my iPhone and iPad don't work. I know Apple says if you forget them then it's your problem. However, this was a direct result of my iTunes upgrade. I spent hours trying to fix this. HELP!

Definitely seems to be a cross-platform bug in iTunes 10.5 concerning all NAS disks. Shared libraries on network drives worked fine under 10.4.1, but now there is just an endless loading cycle with no error message or time-out. There is a bit more about it in this thread.

How to create a password for the pdf file

In Adore Acrobat XI, how to create a password for the file? The help states going to Tools Menu and clicking on Protection tab - but there is no such option. In the file - properties - security screen, it shows the security details but does not allow to edit it.

I think you may be mixing up two different products: Adobe Reader (free), and Acrobat ($$).

Creating unique passwords for a PDF document

I'm going to be selling a PDF eBook on the Internet.
I would like to know if there is a way to create a unique PDF password for each customer
rather than having every customer have the same password that was created in Adobe Pro.
I purchased a $20 eBook that requires you to enter a unique alpha-numeric
password (given only to me) before the Adobe file shows the eBook contents.
I was given a password upon purchasing and when I downloaded and double clicked
on the PDF file, it had the standard message
"this PDF is protected. Please enter a Document Open Password."
They company selling that product must have found a way to create unique passwords
for each customer with their PDF document.
Any help or comments would be appreciated.

George - what I will be selling is a 650-page PDF eBook. Given the amount of content (especially the quality of the content), it's worth protecting it. LockLizard and such products are too high for a startup like mine. They are geared more for the enterprise business level.
Dave Merchant - I right clicked on the PDF eBook I mentioned in my original post that seems to have a unique password for each customer. On the 'general' tab, it says at the bottom:
"Security: This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer."
I'm not sure if that tells you anything.
What's interesting is that after I cancelled the order for that $20 eBook product, the password still works - so the company using that password system either does not have the capability to revoke access or they simply forgot to revoke access to the eBook for me personally.
BTW, I found out that e-junkie.com has a PDF stamping option that will stamp each buyer's PDF with their name, email address, and transaction number. That would help. But I would still like to have the customer have to login with a unique password or key code to access the eBook contents. Having tenchology that revokes access to the eBook would also be ideal, but that might be too expensive to implement.
thanks

Weblogic 10.3 deployException: Could not encrypt password for connection

Well, I guess this is my first time posting in a forum.
My problem is that, when trying to run my servlet, using a jdbc:odbc connection
to an Access-database, I get the following error in the server log:
Running dependency analysis...

ERROR: Could not encrypt password for Connection TBLViewConnect.
The connection I'm using works fine when testing it with the JDeveloper's SQL editor.
It's properties are:
Connection Name: TBLViewConnect
Connection Type: JDBC-ODBC Bridge
as well as username, password and a local datasource
I'm running JDeveloper 11.1.1 on Vista 32bit
Besides, it's my first time using a database-connection with a servlet
thanks for your help

guess I could have found that earlier ;)
I just had to uncheck the "save password" option in the connection menu and write it in the getConnection() method instead.

What "Adobe" do you have? Do you understand the difference between Adobe Reader (free) and Adobe Acrobat ($$)?
