How do i apply a password to my guest network

How do I apply a password to the guest network. I can't remember how I created the guest network in the first place

You can both enable the Guest network feature and set a password for it via the AirPort Utility.

I created a "guest" network on my Time Machine router, but now i can't remember the password. How can I reset the password on that guest network?

When I upgraded to Time Machine to replace my Apple Airport, I created a "guest" network as well as a main network for the family. Now I can't access the guest network, likely because I am not using the right password. I have forgotten (if I ever knew) how to edit the password requirements for a network. Any assistance would be welcome.

On your Mac.....
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
The settings for the Guest Network are located in the center of the window, below the settings for the "Main" network.
Edit/backspace out the password for the Guest Network and and then Verify the password again
Click Update at the lower right of the window and give the Time Capsule a full minute to restart
It might be a good idea to write down the new password that you created and keep it in a safe place.

Time Capsule + Airport Express (no password for extended guest network)

Hi guys,
I´m using at home an Time Capsule combined with an Airport Express for extended range.
I´ve activated the Guest Network on the Time Capsule, using an WPA2 Password for it.
Problem is, the Airport Express is extending both the regular network and the guest network, but there´s no password set for the extended guest network.
So basically there are 4 networks, 3 are properly secured (TC regular and guest and AE regular) but I can´t set a password for the Guest Network that´s being extended by the Airport Express.
I have looked everywhere on the AirPort Utility with no luck whatsoever.
I appreciate any help on this.
Kainan-Maki.

Time Capsule and Airport Express, Windows 7
So you don't have a Mac or even iOS device to setup the TC and express?
This addition of extending guest is new in later firmware.. but you need the 6.2 utility to control it.. AFAIK.

How do I add a password to my wireless network

Hello,
First time posting to the board. So, in advance, thanks for you time and help. I am a computer idiot..not proud just realistic. I have read other posts and I just get lost in them as I do not have a strong working knwledge of computer knowledge. So, after reading on the linksys help pages, I have become even more confused. Basically what I need help with is just adding a password to my wireless network so the laptops in my house are the only ones that can use it. Probably a very basic question, but any help would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks,
Jeff

To set up wireless security, you must use a computer that is wired to the router.
Where to find the router settings: The router's login password is usually on one of the "Administration" pages. The other settings are all found in the "Wireless" section of the router's setup pages, located at 192.168.1.1
First, give your router a unique SSID. Don't use "linksys".
Make sure "SSID Broadcast" is set to "enabled".
Next, leave the router at its default settings (except for the unique SSID), and then use your pc to connect wirelessly to the router. Test your wireless Internet connection and make sure it is working correctly. You must have a properly working wireless connection before setting up wireless security.
To implement wireless security, you need to do one step at a time, then verify that you can still connect your wireless computer to the router.
Next, encrypt your wireless system using the highest level of encryption that all of your wireless devices will support. Common encryption methods are:
WEP - poor (see note below)
WPA (sometimes called PSK, or WPA with TKIP) - good
WPA2 (sometimes called PSK2, or WPA with AES) - best
WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise". Most home users should use "personal". Also, if you have a choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both, choose AES. With any encryption method, you will need to supply a key (sometimes called a "password" ).
The wireless devices (computers, printers, etc.) that you have will need to be set up with the SSID, encryption method, and key that matches what you entered in the router.
Retest your system and verify that your wireless Internet connection is still working correctly.
And don't forget to give your router a new login password.
Picking Passwords (keys): You should never use a dictionary word as a password. If you use a dictionary word as a password, even WPA2 can be cracked in a few minutes. When you pick your login password and encryption key (or password or passphrase) you should use a random combination of capital letters, small letters, and numbers, but no spaces. A login password, should be 12 characters or more. WPA and WPA2 passwords should be at least 24 characters. Note: Your key, password, or passphrase must not have any spaces in it.
Most home users should have their routers set so that "remote management" of the router is disabled. If you must have this option enabled, then your login password must be increased to a minumum of 24 random characters.
One additional issue is that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=893357 and it will direct you to the patch.
Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.
Note:
WEP is no longer recommended. The FBI has demonstrated that WEP can be cracked in just a few minutes using software tools that are readily available over the Internet. Even a long random character password will not protect you with WEP. You should be using WPA or preferably WPA2 encryption.

My network on the time capsule has a "lock" by it so I know that it requires a password. My guest network has no "lock" by it so I am thinking that it is not locked and people could use it. How do I lock my guest network on my time capsule or delete it?

My Time Capsule had a guest network that does not have a "lock" sign by it. So I am thinking that other people can use my wireless internet. My other network does have a "lock" by it. How do I delete or lock the guest network? I obvioulsy am not a computer savy individual so please use laymans terms if you can help me. Please and thank you.

In any event, if your OS X version is 10.7.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion:
Lion: AirPort Utility 5.6.
If your OS X version is 10.5.x or 10.6.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.5.3:
Leopard, Snow Leopard: AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
After you install the appropriate version of AirPort Utility, open it. The program will be located in your Utilities folder, which in turn is found in your Applications folder.
To open the Utilities folder, go to the Finder and select "Utilities" from the Go menu:
AirPort Utility 5.6 looks like this:
... but make sure you use the version of AirPort Utility you just downloaded.
Launch AirPort Utility and select your Time Capsule. Click Manual Setup, then the Guest Menu tab, then you can elect to disable the guest network, or to establish whatever security settings you want.
The window looks somewhat like this:
If your version of AirPort Utility does not look anything like that, you are probably not using the one you just downloaded. Find it and start over.
When you are finished configuring your Time Capsule, click Update and allow the Time Capsule to restart.

Apply owner password using adobe reader

Hi,
I have a document that is encrypted using owner password. the user pasword is null/Empy. Hence when the document is opened, adobe reader doesn't asks for the password. Now, how can i apply the password so that I can disable the restrictions ( the document is restricted for printing. I need to apply the password and print the document).
Thanks in advance
-Pravin

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have the owner passwod actually. What I mean is, If I apply both owner password and user password with the restriction to print the document, I can print the document by opening the document using owner password. But, if the user password is null, we can no longer open the document in owner mode. I wonder if there is any solution for this.
Regards,
Pravin.

Applying security password to unsecured wi-fi network

how do i apply security password to an unsecured wi-fi network apple mac pro 10.9

You do it on the router.

I have a wi fi network which is bell675, it is asking me for a password but i don't know it, how can i get a password

how can i get a password for wi fi network BELL675

There's no way anyone here will know the password to that network. If this is your own home network, the password would be whatever you set up on the WiFi router. If you've forgotten it, you'll have to reset the router. Consult the router documentation. If this is a commercial WiFi network you're trying to access, contact whoever runs the network.
Regards.

How do I add a password to an existing Computer-to-Computer (ad-hoc) network?

I have just created a computer-to-computer (ad-hoc) network but accidently missed the step to add a password to restrict access to the network. I cannot see any options to edit or manually manage the 'device' network.
How do I add a password or delete the network?

Use AirPort Admin Utility to enable wireless encryption on the one called "Main". Use WPA2 or WPA (with a non-dictionary password) if all of your equipment supports it.
Configure the 2nd AirPort Express (AX) [formerly "Remote"] to join the wireless network provided by the first one. Follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

IPhone5 can access guest network without password

I have just finished setting up the Cisco Valet M20 and tried to access the "guest network" using password. All devices connected to "guest network" were taken to a login screen for a password. All except the iPhone5. The phone was able to have connect wirelessly without having to go to the login screen and enter the guest password. I have tried changing "guest network's" password and resetting the network configuration of my iPhone5, still the same result. My laptop, iPad and andriod phone did go through the login screen for password. Is there a fix to this problem?

Since other wireless devices were working thru the guest network as they should, I believe it has something to do with the IPhone5. How about you try this workaround: disable the guest network, turn the M20 off for 10-15 seconds, once you power it back on, access the cisco connect software again and enable the guest network. On your iphone, try to reset the network settings again then try to connect to the guest network.

Guest Network on E3000 / Password problem

Hi,
I have the E3000, I want to use the Guest Network for wireless access. Using Cisco Connect I add a password to the Guest Network. The Guest network then shows up as open or unsecure on laptop and phone. I have renamed my network and changed the main password and nothing seems to help, Guest always shows up as unsecure or open. I tried Cisco chat and they were no help.
Any ideas on how I can get the password to work on the Guest Network?
OS Windows Vista SP2
Using Cisco Connect
Firmware: 1.0.04 build 6
Thanks for your help.

How to get Guest password on E3000

How do I configure Guest network to access ethernet wired printer?

I have a wired/wireless network with a new dual band AEBS. The AEBS is connected to a Cisco router, which in turn sends it's connections to various wall-plates in our home. One HP 4110 printer is wired via it's ethernet port, one Mac Mini (OS 10.6.2) is hard wired also. The dual band AEBS 5 GHz network is used for our newer laptops, and the 2.4 GHz network is used for a G3 Firewire PowerBook (now don't make fun... it was the best there was at one time) running OS 10.4.11.
The PowerBook cannot access the printer that is hard wired via ethernet cable to the network. How do I get the PowerBook on the "Guest" network to access the printer?
I tried searching these discussions, but can't find an answer to my specific issue. Any help is appreciated.

Since you have a simultaneous dual-band AEBS, why not connect your PowerBook G3 to the non-Guest 2.4 GHz network created?
Can I take an AEBS that is a couple of years older (I have a couple of the flying saucers around here somewhere), wire that to an available ethernet port on the LAN, and then connect the older PowerBook G3 to that older AEBS wirelessly?
Sure
If so, will that arrangement slow down the entire system?
No
If that won't work, and I connect the PowerBook G3 directly to an ethernet port, will that slow down the other wireless computers?
Yes you can connect your PowerBook G3 via Ethernet. That would have no effect on the wireless computers.

How do you apply the same password policy to every PDF document you create with inDesign?

All,
Adobe peeps!,
I don't know if this is really supported with inDesign 5.5, but here is my my use case:
I constantly create more than 10 PDFs a day using inDesign
On all PDF's I create, i want to apply password security to protect them
But in order to do so, within inDesign, I am always forced to go to the "security dialogue" pane to set up the same permission and passwords over and over again
This gets tiring :/
So what I am hoping to do is the following:
Like acrobat, I want to create a password policy within inDesign
I want all PDFs created to have such a password policy be automatically applied
I know acrobat supports something like this (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7d68.w.h tml), but, unless I may have missed something, the Acrobat feature is limited. That is, the help link does not tell me how to automatically do this with Acrobat either (the link does not explain to me how to "automatically apply the same password security policy to every PDF document I save within the application). I think the only way to do so is via "Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES", but for non server users, I am hoping there is another way.
So my questions are:
Is it possible to create password security policies in inDesign?
Is it possible to apply the same password security policy to every PDF i create in inDesign?
If not, can I change default settings within Acrobat ProX to automatically apply a password security policy everytime I save a PDF?
If all fails, do you guys know of any extensions that can support this?
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Steve,
Thanks for your notes. To follow up on your response.
Bummer. I kinda had a hunch at this inDesign limitation.
I have been aware of the method for setting up of a security policy within Acrobat. While this feature does cut down some of the work involved in creating and applying password policies to pdfs, what I am looking for with Acrobat is to apply the same password policy to every document I save from the app. Automatically. Without having to manualy select a policy.
I think my solution will have to lie in me creating some sort of script to help support this need. I don't think Acrobat Pro X has the capabilities to allow me to tinker with, say, creating a save PDF preset that will allow me to automatically apply a password policy.
PS. I am using acrobat pro x.

How to protect all VIs by applying a password to the main vi?

Dear folks,
i'm working in LV8.6. In my project, i have lot of vis. i need to protect those vis by applying a password. so whether i should go for every vi and make password protection?. Is any LV feature available for this without developing any code?

I have learned, by making mistakes to many times. NEVER EVER password any files in your "master copy" of the source code
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

How do I set a password for my network?

I want to password protect my network which is shared over Airport Express. How do I create and apply a password so my internet connection can be used only by people who know the password?

If this base station is actually the "snow" then you will need a Mac or PC that can run a version of the AirPort Utility that can administer this "very old" 802.11b base station. You won't be able to do so with an iOS device or Mac running Lion or newer OS.
