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.

  • How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox

    My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?

    Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
    *Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
    It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
    So do not rely on it.<br />
    If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system.

  • How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ?

    How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ? if anyone have my iPad access mail or something I don't want anyone access my photos so how can I set it up.

    You can't set a password for the Photos nor Mail apps, you can only set a passcode for your iPad as a whole (via Settings > Passcode).
    There are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which you can copy your photos into from the Photos app (and then delete them from Photos), that app allows you (via its settings within the app) to set a password to access it.
    For email you could access your email via a browser (and not have your password stored in the browser), or see if there are any email apps in your country's app store which have a password option

    how do I set a password for adobe reader

    You can set a password for your device (iPad or iPhone) in Settings. You cannot set a password on the Adobe Reader app itself.
    If you want to password protect a PDF document you cannot do it in Reader. It must be done in Acrobat on Macintosh or Windows.

  • HT2688 How do I set the password for my iTunes Library Home Sharing?

    I have a new Macbook and I'd like to access my library from my old one via Home Sharing. The library appears in my iTunes, but when I go to enter my Apple ID password, it says that the password is incorrect. Home Sharing is enabled on the old computer. What else could the password be/how do I set the password on my old computer? 

    What password did you define on the computer where the library actually exists?  It could be your Apple ID password but that wouldn't be very smart.
    Just turn off the password for homesharing unless you actually need it.
    Edit > Preferences > Sharing > either uncheck the option to require a password or simply change it.

  • HT5622 how do i set a password for a game account

    being asked to set a game account password...how do i do that

    Hi Dennis,
    The password (to protected unauthorized access) to your wireless network is set on your wireless router. Typically most routers come with a setup wizard, either that involves running an installation sequence (via CD/DVD) or by connecting to the router via a web-based control panel and configuring the router that way. In addition to setting a password to access the network you'll also want to set a username/password for accessing the router to perform administrative tasks.
    You'll want to consult the manufacturer of your router for additional setup assistance, or the manual/quick start guide that came with the product.

  • How can I set a password for iMessage specifically?

    Here's the objective. I want to be able to secure my iMessages with a password, but specifically WITHOUT setting a password on the iPod in general.
    The "restrictions" tab in settings DOES NOT have iMessage as an option to be restricted (which I think is silly), so please don't recommend that. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

    You can go to Settings>Messages and turn off Messages. Then go to Settings>General>Restrictions and turn on the the Restriction that prevent changing accounts.
    I just verified that it works.

  • I've forgotten my Wi-Fi password for a network set-up years ago and am trying to include a new iMac on the same network. How can I do this?

    I've forgotten my wi-fi password for a home network set-up years ago on a Powerbook. I'm now trying to add a new iMac to the same network so I can have 2 hooked up. How can I retrieve my password for the network I created or can I set-up a new one? I did try the latter, but it didn't seem to work on the new iMac for some reason. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    HI, Welcome to the Forums...
    The password may be stored in your keychain on the system you set up the original PowerBook.
    Run KeyChain access in the utilities filder and see if you have a Airport base station password entry, from this you can reveal the password.
    Regards,
    Shawn

  • I see that many people have already complained about Itunes' backup encryption. I NEVER set a password for it (and the corresponding option is still unticked, as always) yet it asked me for a pwd when I upgraded my 3GS to the 5.0 OS. How to solve this?

    To prevent others from reading your mail, don't give them access to your account. If others need to use your computer for some reason, set up personal accounts, or a guest account, and switch to it before allowing them access. This is the simplest, and most effective, method.
    Email message files can be read as plain text in TextEdit or any word processor.
    To protect your email messages from being viewed by others while in your account, you would have to lock the folder, putting it into an encrypted disk image that required a password to be opened and mounted. You would have to double-click on the image and give your password to mount it before launching Mail then unmount it as soon as you're done. My guess is that you could replace the ~/Library/Mail folder with an alias pointing to the folder on the disk image.
    It may work, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary hassle.

  • HT5243 how do I find my password for adobe and Java

    how do I find my password for adobe and Java

    "Java" doesn't have a password, unless you mean your admin password for installing software. That's whatever password you (or the person who set your computer up) used to set up your admin account. That's the same password that you use when you start up the computer if you get asked for one. You cannot retrieve this password if you've forgotten it, but you can reset it and make a new one. See this support article if that's the case:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14325
    "Adobe" is a company and likewise doesn't have a password. However, if you have Adobe cloud-based software you may well have set up a password with them. Adobe also require an account and password for downloading certain products. You'll need to contact Adobe to retrieve any such password if you've lost it.
