Is it better to set the admin account to other than myself on a new computer for security purposes?

Hi all
On a new computer is it better to set the admin account to other than myself for security purposes? I am sure that I read some years ago that this was the best route to go down. What I am suggesting is that I will still administer the account but not as myself the user in my own name and also will it have any ramifications further down the line.
Will be using a new Macbook Pro running Lion (when it arrives)
With thanks in advance for any help and advice on this issue
Best regards
Dingoh

when you get a new mac and set up an account, that account is designated as the admin account automatically. Creating a second user account without admin privileges is fine to do, if you are afraid that you might accidentally do something harmful that requires admin access. Make sure it is a second user account and not a guest account, as with a guest account, everything during a session under a guest account gets deleted after the session ends.

Hello Lauren,
I know how important it is to be able to unlock your device with the correct password. I want to ensure you’re able to do this.
Have been able to retrieve or reset your password? If not, I’d like to provide you a link with support for Apple ID here: http://bit.ly/aQs8MT Let us know how this works out for you.

How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'. This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.

Can Photoshop Elements 13 and Premier Elements 13 be installed/configured/patched standalone for security purposes (not linked to cloud, mobile, Microsoft, Adobe, etc)?

We have installed a trial version of Photoshop Elements and plan to do so for Premier Elements. However, for security reasons, it is of no use to us unless we can install and use it standalone (not linked to cloud, mobile, Microsoft, Adobe, etc.). Can Photoshop Elements 13 and Premier Elements 13 be installed/configured/patched standalone as described above? If so, what do we need to do regarding installation/configuration/patching to test this? Thanks in advance.

How to block opening a file for security purposes

There is a chance my MacBook may need repairs for case issues. I have some personal information on my computer that I want to protect from prying eyes.
How would I do this?
Thank you!

Hi the musigal
You could create a disk image and encrypt it with a password. Move the files into that and delete the originals. On return, copy them back from the disk image to their original locations.
To create a disk image:
Open Disk Utility.
Select New Image
Give it a name, select a size and choose Enrcryption
Click Create
Enter a chosen password twice (make it different to your normal one)
The newly created disk image will appear mounted on the Desktop, if that is the location you chose for it.
Move your sensitive files into it.
Unmount it (eject it)
Test it by double clicking on it, supply your password.
Once opened (mounted), check your files are in there and work correctly.
Again eject it. It can remain on your computer as it can't be opened except by you.
Delete the original files.

Are parts of a pdf document in Adobe Acrobat Pro able to be secured so that once the recipient fills out a specific section, signs it, and submits it to the original sender, that information filled out is locked from editing for security purposes? If so,

I have an application I'm submitting to our school website for potential students to fill out. There are sections for the student(s) to fill out as well as sections for staff to fill out. For the sake of security for the student filling out the form, I'd like to set it up so that once the student has filled out the proper sections and submits the information, any information filled out and signed by the student is locked from editing on my part. I only need to read what the student filled out and signed, then add my notes to Staff sections. Is this possible? If so, how? I need details!

You can create a script that will lock the fields before signing. But when you edit the document after the student signs, the signature will no longer be valid and the document will show that it has been changed after signing. Adobe restricts the number of files you can collect information on with forms that can be saved and emailed. The restriction used to be 500 files unless you purchased the appropriate LiveCycle product to enable the pdf files for saving.
Why in the world are you requiring potential students to sign forms. Many students will not know how to sign pdf files. Just have a button that will submit the information to a website for you to extract or to send you the information in an FDF file and import the information form. You can have a button that will lock the fields they fill out. This will ensure you do not have to worry about the 500 file limit.

I will be using public wifi for 3 months while traveling, do I need VPN for security?

I will be using public wifi for 3 months while traveling, do I need VPN software? And is it needed at the receiving end?

As long as you only enter your password in secure web forms, connect to secure mail servers, and don't mind if a stranger is watching which Internet servers you connect to (but can't see what you do with them), a VPN isn't necessary.

What range TCP/IP Port should be give to default or named instance of sql server for security purpose to sql server ?

Hi
i am following technet article for Configure SQL Server security for SharePoint 2013 environments
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607733?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
i want to change default TCPIP port from 1433 to which ports to change is securable for sql server
i mean in what range
for example can i change to 1500 or 2000 or 1450 etc .
if i assign like these portnos it will not affect to other ports in windows server 2012?
adil

I agree with Erland. (Always a good idea.) Changing the port doesn't help much to prevent attacks. If you decide to do that see Configure a Server to Listen on a Specific TCP Port (SQL Server Configuration Manager)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms177440.aspx. Note
"When selecting a port number, consult
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers for a list of port numbers that are assigned to specific applications."
It's important that you pick a number that isn't used by some other application.

T-code deletion urgent.. for security purpose

Dear Gurus..
I hav deleted the t-code in role but still it is showing in executable transactions.. how to remove tht transaction completely pls help our version is MySAP ERP ECC 6

Hi,
I did not get your question where you deleted the T-code
if you are deleted fro the role , then you need to regenerate the authorizations for that role again.
and again perform the user comparison so that the change will effect.

Clean wipe of HD for security purposes

I just got a new MB and plan to give my 6 yr old iBook to my brother in law, living in Taiwan and who will eventually install chinese language OS. For now, I'd like to wipe clean the HD - after six yrs, I've got tons of financial stuff, passwords, etc. stored.
Will erasing HD with disk utility be enough? I understand data can still be retrieved. What's the best way, short of installing new HD to format and x things out?

Here's what you should do:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one (1.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID for Intel Macs or APM for PPC Macs, then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Zeroing the data will effectively remove everything on the drive assuring that no data can be recovered. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the end of the installation you will have a Restart button. Do not click on it, but instead just eject the installer disc then shut down the machine. When your brother-in-law starts the computer it will boot to the Setup Assistant where he can set up his own admin account and user information as if the computer were new.

How to Hotsync User Information to a different drive (not drive c:) for security purposes

1. during installation in Vista using Palm Desktop 6.2, we can choose the directory path for the user account - I do not wish to use the default c:\Documents\User. I choose another separate drive.
It was possible during installation to choose where to save our user path. My first Hotsync saved my info on a separate drive.
2. However, on subsequents Hotsync, the Palm program cannot recognise my path I choose to Hotsync my info to i.e. the separate drive.
3. Some registry entries error? Please help
Post relates to: LifeDrive

Hello evan10 and welcome to the Palm forums.
Older versions of Palm Desktop, 4.2 and earlier, only allowed you to install on drive c:\. Palm Desktop 6.2 was developed by a different company, ACCESS.
Have you tried moving your HotSync profile folder to a new folder on drive c:\ that you have read/write access to? I'm wondering if this is an issue with a new path being used or a problem with the profile folder just not being on drive c:\ and the Palm Desktop or HotSync Manager application is expecting it to be on c:\.

How to lock the ides client for secure purpose

hello friends,
i do have system which contain 4 clients 800,001,000,060 so out of 4 clients i want to lock 3 clients 000,001,060
and client 800 will remain open.

zaheer

Hi,
I agree with Vishnu,
Please perform the following to lock the client:
1. Go to SM37.
2. Enter the module name SCCR_LOCK_CLIENT
3. Enter the client number you want to lock.
4. Execute (F8).
Note: Locked clients are only accessible to DDIC and SAP* users, while other users can't login to that client. Furthermore, if you want to unlock the client use SCCR_UNLOCK_CLIENT in the same way as above.
Please let us know if solved.
Regards,
Avishek.

Sometimes when I just closed Firefox for security purposes and when I try to open new browser, "it states, Firefox is still running and you must close it first" That is not so, Why is this?

This happens quite often. I "x" out the browser when I am at a banking site, etc and when I try to re-open Firefox the message clearly states: "Firefox is already running and you must close it before you can open a browser and/or you must re-start your system." This error surely must appear on others attempting the same thing.
