Need to override password protection...

Have a SPA303 phone that was password protected by user that can't be contacted.
Is there any way to reset phone? It keeps asking for administrative password, would even consider reformatting and installing os if that's an option.
Any help or dirrection would be appreciated.

Hello Matt,
I suggest going to IVR menu. Then press **** (four asterisks). Then 3. Then 4 for factory reset and end with #.
Hope this helps,
Let me know if you need further assistance,
Thanks,
Naresh

SECURITY: Overriding password protection using OS X disc

Do I understand correctly that the administrator password can be reset by using an OS X install disc?!
The problem is not that I forgot my password, but that anyone can access my information by simply restarting using an OS X disc?
Besides encrypting the home folder, how do I make my system more secure than that?
From Mac Help:
Resetting the original administrator account password
Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account (of several) needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, the original administrator user may reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above.
Start up from a Mac OS X Install CD (one whose version is closest the the version of Mac OS X installed). You should first disable Open Firmware password protection, if it is enabled. Hold the C key as the computer starts.
Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger). Tip: If you don't see this menu or menu choice, you're probably not started from the CD yet.
Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
Set the user name of your original administrator account.
Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually a reference to the root user. Do not confuse it with a normal administrator account.

Hi
I believe you can set an open firmware password to prevent someone booting from the OS X disc:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106482
At the end of the day though, if someone has physical access to your computer and in particular your hard drive, they could probably access your information anyway by simply removing the hard drive and mounting it in another computer.

Need to wipe password protected admin

I bought a 2011 mac mini used. It boots up fine but there's a password enabled to upgrade it to Mavericks as well as creating a new user on the account. I read it was as simple as holding cmd+R and doing a fresh install of Lion which I did but 5 hours later after prompting a restart it was the same exact install. What can I do?

Why can't I password-protect a PDF that's been Enabled for Commenting in Acrobat Reader?

What is the point of not being able to password-protect a PDF you have enabled Commenting in for Acrobat Reader users?
We are testing out the option of using the "commented" PDF from the user's end (who just has Acrobat Reader). These PDFs we'll be sending are highly sensitive and need to be password-protected.
We're using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS4, on new Intel iMacs running the latest updated Leopard.
Help?

You need to passsword protect the file before enabling commenting in
Reader. Just don't save in between the two steps.

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.

Password protected pages in a form

I had a single password protected page in my original form, I added a second page that also needed to be password protected.
When I select the password window it brings it up, lets you type in the password but will not open the hidden pages?
here is the formula:
form1.#subform[3].Button1::click - (JavaScript, client)
var retValue = app.response("Enter Password: ", "Warning");
if(retValue == "XXXxxx"){
Page4.presence = "visible";
else{
app.alert("Wrong password!");
any ideas?

I was able to resolve this by adding in a second button for the second page

Opening a password protected document by PDDocOpenEx()

Hello,
I need to open password protected PDF files in my application (not an Acrobat or Reader plug-in). I have the Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard installed in my computer. I found on the web that it can be done by calling the PDDocOpenEx() function. What I want ask is:
Is PDDocOpenEx() implemented in Acrobat 9 SDK or do I have to purchase Adobe PDF Library SDK?
Is there an example (or at least a Visual Studio project template to see what libraries must be included in the project?)
Thanks in advance.

If you want to open PDF files in your own application w/o the need for Acrobat or Reader present, then you need the Adobe PDFLibrary - that's what it does is add PDF functionality to your application.

I have several documents that need to be password protected and I am unable to protect them already in Adobe. I only have Adobe Reader at this time. Is this possible to do without having to have another version of Adobe?

To add security, you need Adobe Acrobat.

Screen Saver Password Protection - Security Flaw

Although I have always felt OS X has been a solid and secure operating system, there continues to remain one painful, and blatant security flaw. I keep thinking that Apple will address the issue, but they certainly haven't done so thus far.
Explanation:
With any good security policy, and in any secure environment, there will always be a need to "lock" (password protect) a system when not in use. That is, after 'X' period of time, the user interface is password protected so as not to allow access to the system while not in use. This is probably the most common and fundamental security measure in any environment. However, Apple's (GUI) password protection falls short in a number of ways. The only current method of password protecting the user interface is through the Screen Saver. Although at a glance it appears functional, it is a poor design and is easy to disable.
The screen saver configuration lies within two files; the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.<variable>.plist. It is especially important to note that both of these files are located in the users home folder, which gives them full access to the configuration files. There is absolutely nothing preventing a user from deleting these files, and thus, disabling the only mechanism to password protect the user interface. Giving the user the ability to disable or remove ANY security related configuration is a poor design.
Now initially we thought we had a solution by setting the user immutable flag on the ByHost screen saver plist using chflags. This would still allow user access, but would prohibit them from deleting the ByHost plist. Well, it sounded good in theory. However, if ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist is deleted, you can say goodbye to your password protected screen saver, despite locking the screen saver plist. So naturally the idea occurred to me to set the user immutable flag on ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist. This works, but makes it impossible to modify the Dock. Needless to say, if the Dock can't be modified, there's no point in even having it.
Now that isn't the only thing wrong with the screen saver password protection. You would expect that an administrator could unlock a users (password protected) screen saver, but you would also assume that the user was logged off as a result. Not in this case... If an admin unlocks a password protected screen saver for a user, they are now logged in as that user and have access to everything the user was doing when it was locked (email, spreadsheets, confidential information... anything). This is not the preferred method. If for some reason an admin needs to unlock a password protected screen saver, it should log off that user, not allow access to the user's session.
Finally, the biggest flaw yet. With a recent update, the password protection doesn't even work, as indicated by several people in the following threads.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2706417&#2706417
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1950444&#1950444
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2648700&#2648700
I have personally seen this issue while developing our corporate OS X image. Despite any fix or workaround, the simple fact that this has occurred is disturbing. ...As if the design wasn't bad enough, it now has the potential to stop working entirely.
Now don't get me wrong, I love OS X and prefer to work on it over any other operating system. Nonetheless, the current design for the "screen lock" is inadequate at best. For a large enterprise environment with stringent security requirements, it's far from sufficient. My hope in posting this is that someone from Apple acknowledges the design flaw and incorporates a more effective solution into the next OS.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

One thing I forgot to mention is that "Workgroup Manager.app" is a part of the "Server Admin Tools" which can be downloaded free from Apple. Although it seems to be primarily intended to be used to configure OS X Server from an OS X Client machine, many of its functions can be used to configure the OS X Client machine itself, in the complete absence of OS X Server. Unfortunately, the 'mcx_settings' aren't really "image friendly" - as far as using them on OS X client is concerned, they are something that seem to need to be applied to user accounts individually (although it is possible to copy all of the settings at once so it isn't necessary to go through the whole configuration process for each setting for each user). I have tried tinkering and applying them to groups, but group members don't seem to automatically be restricted (I may be missing something). The "tools" are available here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/serveradmintools104.html
I don't know if it would be any better than the screen saver "hot corner", but there is an option to lock the screen from the "Keychain Access" menu extra, which can normally be enabled through "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Keychain Access.app", from its "Preferences". This setting is then stored in the "com.apple.systemuiserver.plist" file (ie independent of the "Dock"), but could in principle be controlled from 'mcx_settings' as well. The level of control seems to be incomplete - the user can still drag the item off of the menu bar, but it returns during the next login. However, it does provide convenient access to a method to lock the screen and keychains, and has a nice "padlock" icon so that its function is obvious. It is also potentially possible to assign a two-step keyboard shortcut to the "Lock Screen" item, but it would be somewhat less convenient than a direct key combo...
One other note regarding the "admin" user's ability to unlock the screensaver. The configuration file allowing the "admin" user to do this is "/etc/authorization", under 'system.login.screensaver'. Currently, the "rule" is set to 'authenticate-session-owner-or-admin'. Changing it to 'authenticate-session-owner' would be expected to remove the "admin" user's ability to unlock the screensaver, and if "Fast user switching" is available, the "admin", being unable to authenticate, should be able to switch to the "login window" from the authentication dialogue. I haven't tested this at all in "Tiger", but in "Panther", there was apparently a problem with it (which is why it had slipped my mind since at the time it was rejected as a viable option) - the person who posts here as "LittleSaint" had mentioned some problem with user logins when set up that way but I don't remember what it was, and so can't test if it has been fixed in "Tiger" (not very reassuring, and I apologize). And again, this is a setting that an "admin" would be able to reverse for themselves. Also, should "Fast user switching" become disabled for some reason, and the screen saver kicks in and the user isn't available, it might be a hassle to get back into the machine (it might be possible to do something over ssh). Nevertheless, it might be something to look in to.

Can I configure an external drive to be password protected or do I need to buy an external hard drive already password enabled

I asked at a Hong Kong apple shop if they had password protected external drives. They didn't, I bought one anyway.
I'm wondering can I configure this drive. If yes, what do I need to do?

This looks like the easiest and most direct method and since it uses Disk Utility it would work on any OS.
