How to launch a finder with password requested, not using sudo in terminal

Hi,
I would like to have a finder with password requested in Mac like we move the the driver in /System/Library/extensions folder to trash by command lines. Using "sudo delete" in terminal will have the DOS-style and not good-looking for users. That is, I would like to have the GUI with password by some commands(or scripts) before I removing the driver.
Thanks for your help.

You shouldn't be doing anything with system files. Those don't belong to you. If you need to install or update software in /Library, create an installer package. It will run as root, after prompting for administrator credentials.

HT1689 How can I retrieve/change iPOD password after not using it for a year and not remembering it? (Actual device, not Apple ID)

Been in Afghanistan for the past year, can't remember the password I put on the iPOD touch before I left. Tried all I thought it could be. Does anyone know how I can retrieve the password? Or, who I can contact to unlock it so I can either use the old one or change it if they can't figure out what it was? Thanks.

Thanks roaminggnome...
I am currently in demobilization and have no manual...is there someone I can look that up on the web? Thanks.

Does any one can guide how to lock particular App with password?

As an example 'lock' Safari via your method.
Now use Spotlight to search for Safari, tap it - is it 'locked'?
Now go to your email & find a link to click - Safari opens again.
Guided access is not a 'lock' in any sense of the word, it is a tool designed to stop things happening, but many apps have multiple ways to be found or launched you can't easily block them all.
Mallik_Hyderabad, iOS doesn't have this feature & Apple do not seem interested in adding it (7.5 years & it still isn't an option) - use a passcode with a lock screen timeout if you have any sensitive data on the device or get an Android device.

How to lock a folder with password ?

Please tell me how to lock a folder with password (to keep personal files)

Keep looking it can be done. I have a folder on my hard drive that requires a password everytime I try to open it. I found how to do this in an old "Mac OS - The missing manual" but don't remember off the top of my head how I did it. I remember you have to partition a portion of the hard drive, I think I did like 10 Gig of my 1 Teribite external drive and then you give it a name and make up a password. The password is NOT changeable and if you lose it you can't get back in that folder. It appears as a standard folder but needs a password to open it.
Email me direct if you can't find any info and I will try to look it up - [email protected]

FIND with MATCH OFFSET not working

Hi,
I have a statement:
FIND '/' IN <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn MATCH OFFSET off2.
this works in all the case except for when <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn = SSULTANA-VMC/.
(i.e. when /bic/zbib_sysn = USERID-VMC/, here SSULTANA is the user ID)
*In this case off2 = .
Value of sy-subrc is 0 after this statement is executed
Can some one please point out what I am doing wrong.
Thank you,
CD

>FIND with MATCH OFFSET not working
Most unlikely. More likely is that it isn't doing what you think it should be doing. Or you're using it incorrectly!
I can't really follow what your problem is. I assume you mean that you are getting off2 with value 0, when /bic/zbib_sysn contains USERID-VMC/
Can you be a little clearer in what the issue is?
DATA: off2 TYPE i.
FIND '/' IN 'this string /' MATCH OFFSET off2.
WRITE: / sy-subrc, off2.
This little program returns 0 and 12

To give an update on this issue, here is the latest information I have:

I will update this thread as I know more information. Thank you for your patience.

How do I resolve "error processing your request" when using the download link in My Orders for photoshop 5

As Jeff already hinted at, try a different browser. Such issues almost always are local problems on your end. Something is either changing or blocking the HTTP headers used for forwarding (could be your router, a desktop firewall or other security tools) or a JavaScript is not running/ being blocked.

If you have no backups, and data has been lost, then it's lost forever. The rest of your data will inevitably follow if you don't back up.

Eliminate popup with information 'Do not use "Back" button'

Hello,
when your cursor is not focused in a ui-Element than in case of typing the back key, a popup open with message: please not use it. It is the same information in case of using the back button.
Q. Is there a possibility to prevent the popup. Not the function behind, only that the popup will not open?
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Christian

Hi Christian,
There is no way to suppress the pop-up for your case . it is comming from the WD controllere. Just put the focus on any UI element then click on BACK manually.
Warm Regards,

How to create password digest from PLSQL? or if any other alternatives available please response soon.

I do not see why it will not be possible to do digest authentication with a web server using PL/SQL.
As for the digest password - the web server supplies a token (a nonce) which you need to use for creating the hashed authentication token (the digest password). The URL I posted explains this authentication process.
As for the technical how-to in PL/SQL - as I mentioned, never had to do this (only dealt with Basic and NTLM authentication thus far). But as other auth methods (such as Microsoft's NTLM) can be implemented, I do not see why digest authentication could not.
Suggest you spend some time googling for technical articles/sample code on the subject - and try to find specific PL/SQL related sample code too.

How to stop frequent keychain login password requests

This problem is very irritating, I’m getting asked frequently by OS X to enter a keychain login password. What I’ve read suggests this is related to a problem with Keychain Access. One explanation says it can be caused by an administrator account password change where the default keychain password does not change, resulting in an inconsistency. I have NOT changed my account password so I don’t think this is the cause of my problem.
I’ve also tried using Keychain Access First Aid, but it currently finds no problems.
In my case, this appears to have started after an upgrade from OS X Mavericks to Yosemite. When I did the upgrade, the first problem I encountered was Mail stopped working – I was unable to send or receive mail. I could, however, go to my mail provider at their web site and view mail there just fine. That problem was resolved by using Keychain Access First Aid - I can now use Apple Mail on my "Air" just fine, but I’m still being inundated with frequent requests to enter a keychain login password. I get these requests from Mail, AddressBookSourceSync, Messages Agent, Safari, Local Items, CalendarAgent, and com.apple.MailServiceAgent.xpc.
Once I enter my login password to 3-5 of these requests, I’m able to continue working on my Macbook Air, however once I close and reopen the lid of my Air, the requests start anew.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I passed in username and password of account "A" to method "LaunchAppWithElevatedPrivilege", and also the application i want to launch, e.g. "C:\windows\regedit.exe", but when i run the service program, i found it do launch
"regedit.exe" with elevated account "A", but the content of regedit.exe is pure back. screenshot as below:
Can anyone help me on this?

You code is not dealing with the DACL access to Winsta0\Default. Only the LocalSystem account will have full access and the interactively logged on user which is why regedit is not displaying properly. You'll need to grant access to your user.
You also need to deal with UAC since that code is going to give you a non-elevated token via LogonUser(). You need to get the full token via a call to GetTokenInformation() + TokenLinkedToken.
