HELP  my Powerbook is password protected

i got my powerbook second hand and it has a password so any help would be helpful

For every Mac model, there is a minimum required OS version. It won't boot into any lower version.
Turn your Powerbook over and remove its battery. Somewhere inside the battery compartment you'll find a label with the machine's basic specifications, serial number, etc. Make a note of the specifications (not the serial number, ethernet ID or Airport ID) and post them here. Also, tell us whether most of the ports for connecting other devies to it are on the back edge of the machine, under a hinged door between the display hinges, or on the left and right edges of the machine. This will help us identify your Powerbook model and determine what minimum OS version it requires. Meanwhile, you could be examining your OS X 10.2.x installer DVD closely for fingerprints, smudges, scratches, scuffs and dirt, and running a drive cleaning disc through your optical drive.

  • Creating password-protected or hidden folder

    Dear all,
    I wonder if someone can help me create a password-protected and/or hidden folder where I can put some sensitive files.
    Thanks much,
    R

    Use an encrypted disk image or a third-party method. Placing the password in the keychain will automatically unlock the image when your Mac OS X account is active.

  • How do I password protect the external hard drive used for Time Machine backup

    Can anyone help me to put password protection on the external hard drive I use to Time Machine backup my iMac internal hard drive?  I use Snow Leopard 10.6

    I think that was FileVault 1.  Starting with Lion (10.7) Mac OS X uses FileVault 2, which is whole disk encryption.
    Based on complaints seen in these forums, I would say FileVault 2's only complaint has been when people forget their password/encryption key (it seems an encrypted disk does prevent anyone without the password from accessing the data, including the real owner).  Otherwise it does not seem to be causing any serious issues.  Your Mileage may vary and objects are closer than they appear in your side view mirror (standard disclaimer).  Of course this is all academic while you are using Snow Leopard (10.6).
    There are other whole disk encryption packages available, such as PGP Whole Disk Encryption, HOWEVER, I would not advise it for your Mac OS X boot disk, as it has been known to be a problem when you try to install operating system updates or upgrade to a new version.  NOTE:  I have not seen PGP Whole Disk Encryption discussed much, ever since FileVault 2 came along.

  • Removing Password Protection

    Hi, I am a new user on Dreamweaver CS4
    Somehow I have made a website that has a pop-up screen asking for a username and password.  In fact it requires my ftp username and password in order to view the site online.
    I have no idea what I have done, can someone please help me remove the password protection?   I have looked up permissions, passwords etc. and can't find anything that helps.
    I am using a template as well, and can't see anything in the code indicating that the template page or the index page is private.
    Please help me figure out how to fix this.
    Shannon

    The problem has been solved... the password prompt was on the server,
    It was not caused by the way I set up the pages in Dreamweaver....
    Thank you!

  • Password Protect my DVD-rom on Powerbook

    Is there any way to password protect my dvd burner? I don't want people hopping on my laptop and burning cd's when i'm not around. Any suggestions? Is there anyway to password protect ANY applications???
    SDMac
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hi,
    If you create a new account and go into the parental controls section and select 'Finder' you can configure it to not allow burning CD's etc, and also control access to specific apps.
    The only problem with this is that it restricts access completely and does not allow for the entering of an Admin id and password which, I think, would not do what you are meaning. You could also go down this route by setting up a seperate account with all these restrictions which you log into when you leave your machine alone so allowing people some access to your computer but not to your account.
    Have you thought about just locking the screen by requesting a password when the machine wakes up or for closing the screensaver? (These are set through the Security preferences pane.) If this is what you want to do then remember to disable automatic login if it is enabled.
    If you could give some more details about your specific use that might help with getting an approriate answer.
    Robbie
    ps There may be some apps around that can do this but I am not currently aware of them. Other people may know of some.

  • Help in Setting Password Protection to a Page in DW MX2004

    I need to add password protection to a page.  How do I do this in DW MX2004?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Dreawmweaver newbie.

    Depends on the following:
    What kind of server are you on - Linux or Windows?
    How secure do you need this to be?
    How many pages do you want to protect?
    How many unique usernames  & passwords do you need?
    If your requirements are simple, start by contacting your host.  They may provide  an Admin Panel from which you could set up a password protected folder.
    Or do a Google search for .htaccess and .htpasswd.

  • Help! I Password Protected My Zen

    Hi, I'm new here and I new help. While fooling around with my Creative Zen Vision W 30gig player the other I managed to password protect the videos and some pictures. I have no idea what I plugged in for the password and now can't view this protected stuff. I feel pretty dumb. I've tried a reboot, reinstalled the firmware but nothing's worked. Am I doomed to a reformat?

  • Urgent...help password protection...

    hello...
    Anyone out there know the coding for password protection using application....for example the user will type in the username and password and a statement will come out to validate the password...
    Thanks a lot..
    -pal-

    Hi! A simple way of approaching the matter is to read the user name and the password from the GUI, then get the password from the database corresponding to the username and compare the two. You'll need to use JDBC for the latter.
    Here are a couple of points to remember. You may want to determine if your password scheme is case-sensitive or not. Secondly, you may want to use the setEchoChar() method (if you're using a java.awt.TextField object for getting the password from the user) so that the password is not echoed to the screen while the user is typing it.
    Hope this helps! Feel free to ask if something's not too clear.
    Cheers!

  • Help - Trying to password protect a section of a DW CS4 website

    Iam not sure how to proceed. I have one section that is for employees and I need to password protect it. I don't need it to be indvidual passwords. One will do.
    Thank you for your help. I am completely lost.

    Log into your host control panel and depending on what version your host is running, you should see a way to password protect a folder. You will then assign a username and password. Put all of the files you want to protect into that folder.
    You could also use server side scripting and a database to secure specific pages, but that sounds like overkill for your needs.
