Password protected DOCX and Mac OS X SLServer

We cannot open a password protected docx on SLServer. Can open all other files fine; can open non-protected docx; can open p/w protected docx if copied to any desktop; does not matter is docx was originally saved to shared location or local desktop and copied to Server.....Any ideas?
This is a re-post of the same problem someone had in May last year, but has been archived and I cannot read solution.

For Macs you need to configure NetStorage to set Cookieless mode to 1 -
in iManager this is under File Access (NetStorage) > NetStorage Options.
Be aware that setting that may (un)set some of the other values so you
may need to (re)set those too.
To get contextless logins working you should already have the server's
context listed under the IP address of the server at File Access
(NetStorage) > Authentication Domains. If so, you should be able to
then add each additional context via Add Context. Unfortunately there's
no way to add a bunch in bulk.
As for Windows 7, you need to map a network drive as per Microsoft KB

Password protected docx file

I have a docx file that I recieved in an e-mail. It is password protected. I have the password but I do not know how to open it.

I don't believe Pages will open password protected .DOCX files. It does appear that OpenOffice will, however.

If you can't obtain the document sans password protection and don't want to shell out for Word, you might be able to open it with that (it's free).

For printer LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC

Dear All
for printer LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC?please help?

What Windows OS are you using? Are you networked?
If you are networked, you have to setup your file and print sharing options in order to require password assess. If you are just trying to control specific files from being printed, you can do that, too.
If you are just trying to control the amount of printing off of a single PC with a printer, you could setup different accounts for each user and limit their access.
Some of the commercial printers can have password options, but I do not find any password options for the CM 1410, other than what I provided earlier.
If I have been helpful, a Kudo is always appreciated.

I try to log in to password protected sites and nothing happens but works fine on Internet Explorer. Can't get past login page. I even had to use Internet Explorer to login to ask this question!

On the page where you enter username and password after entering and pressing "Log in" the page just stays in place. If you look at the error log you see
"Warning: Unknown property 'border-radius'. Declaration dropped.

Password protect files and folders Creative Cloud Files

I know this feature has been requested a number of times, but I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether or not the ability to password protect files and folders for sharing purposes is in the works? It appears to be a glaring omission to me, particularly as Adobe's vision for the Creative Cloud encompasses the corporate world, where security is obviously of great importance.
Any news would be welcome.
Best regards

My Mac got hacked. I was working on a word document when the computer suddenly started typing meaningful sentences on its own that describes how the hacker is skillful. At the that time I was on a password protected wifi and file sharing was off.

This is the first time I get hacked this bad. I was working on a microsoft word document when the computer suddenly started typing meaningful sentences on its own that describes how skillfull the hacker is. At the that time I was on a friends wifi network that is password protected (not sure about the encyrption), the Os X Firewall was on. I was using the admin profile, however, file sharing was off. I'm very careful not to install any suspecious 3rd party software.
So far I have verified permissions and fixed some errors there, and changed passwords.
Do I have to erase/format my computer and reinstall the Os? If so is it adequte to use the internet recovery tool or will it use old and possibly infected EFI/Root files?
Would appreciate the advice of all the Mac experts out there. Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

How to password protect "Find My Mac" feature?

Anyone know how I might password protect the "Find My Mac" feature that's accessible in the iCloud System Preference Pane? My reasoning is that if someone stole my computer while I was still logged in, it seems far too easy for the thief to simply navigate to the iCloud System Preference screen and uncheck "Find My Mac" to prevent me from tracking down the computer. Many of the other System Preferences can be padlocked -- seems like this feature should be as well. Any ideas?

Old Toad,
If I password protect my user account, then the person who has stolen my macbook would not able to login. Hence the macbook will not be able to connect to the internet because it could be a new WIFI network that my macbook has not logged in before. If it is not connected to the internet, then we cannot locate it.
Ideally, we should allow the thief to login to the macbook and allow him to use the WIFI. The iCloud settings should alone be password protected so that the thief will not be able to tinker with that. This way the macbook will come online (which ever wifi network it is) and we will be able to locate it.
Thanks

Password Protecting Contacts and Color Coding Calendar

I just got an iPhone today and was wondering if there is a way to password protect my contacts. Either all of them or certain records so that I will be prompted for a password before seeing a record (or all records). I had a Palm Centro before this and absolutely loved that feature since I could keep all my passwords in my phone and not have to worry about anyone else accessing them since the file was password protected.
I haven't used the iCal much but is there a way to color code entries by event type (e.g. Birthday, appointment, meeting, etc.) This is another feature that my palm had that I really loved and was hoping I could duplicate it in some way on my iPhone

The answer to your first question is no. You kept your various passwords with your contacts?
Regarding iCal, you can create multiple calendars and have a different color for each. For example I have a Business and a Personal calendar with business and personal events separated. I can view all calendars combined or I can view an individual calendar by itself.
The iPhone includes a Birthdays calendar that is linked to birthday entries for your contacts in Contacts. iCal includes the same linked to birthday entries for your contacts in the Address Book. The iPhone supports syncing calendars/calendar events with iCal and contacts with the Address Book on your Mac.

Is there any way to set up an Airport Extreme that had been previously used in a password protected network and the password was not provided by the seller ?

Background -
My original Airport Extreme Base Station failed (would not connect to the modem). I purchased a similar, if not identical base station on eBay. Unfortunately, the purchased base station apparently was used in a password protected network. For what it is worth, my son gave me a Netgear wireless router, but it leaves a lot to be desired. For one thing, I use to keep the cable modem in the basement along with the Airport base station, with a printer connected to the USB port. The Netgear device does not have a USB port and also requires that the computer (in this case, the eMac) used to set up the network be connected to one of the ethernet ports. This meant I had to move the cable modem and router into my bedroom, a very undesirable situation. It then occurred to me that the original Airport base station Wi-Fi function might still work, and tested this hypothesis and sure enough, the Wi-Fi function does indeed work I currently have both base stations powered on, with my printer connected to the original. Both base stations appear under my Network icon, but neither Airport Utility 5.4.2 or Airport Administrator Utility 4.2 see either base station. I can select the original base station as my network, connect to the printer or even my other computers, but as soon as I try to select the new one, it asks for the password. I would like to somehow reset this base station and then redefine the network name and encryption.

I would suggest that you perform a "soft" reset on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) that you just got from eBay. This type of reset will temporarily (5 minutes) disable both the base station and wireless security passwords so that you can access it with the AIrPort Utility to make the necessary changes.

Password protected site and gallery: no go

Hi,
i'm trying to publish a password protected site to mobileme. The site will contain links to mobileme galleries (password protected too).
first issue: i can't add a protected gallerie to iweb, iweb doesn't show it. After removing the protection ("visible to everone") it works. After setting up the site, i turned on the protection again.
Now my browser ask for the password for every gallery on the page (it's the same user and password for every gallery and the site).
I don't think, that my visitors will like that...

Password Protecting Files and Folders

Is there any way to password protect a folder? I'd like to password protect my iChat logs, so that iChat can still write to them and I can still access them via spotlight, however to open any of them I'd need a password. Is there a way to do it?

Create an encrypted sparse disk image with Disk Utility without saving your password in the keychain, mount the disk and copy your files or folders, then make an alias of the files or folder that are in the disk image to anywhere you prefer. When you access the alias, the disk image will mount and ask for your password.

Password protect docs and folders?

I have several folders with secure/private info that I want to password protect. Does Snowleopard have a feature that allows users to protect folders and files?
Thanks!

Use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to create an encrypted disk image for them, and don't put the password in the keychain.

Password protecting history and removal of private browsing

I am wondering if I can password protect the browsing history on this phone so it cannot be deleted without my permission. I would also like to remove or password protect the private browsing option... is this possible? Last of all can you hide or password the app store? I don't want to make addition users or lock up my entire phone just make it so it cannot be used inappropriately.

You probably have '''Automatically start Firefox in a Private Browsing session''' selected in the Privacy tab in Options. That will cause those Tools menu items to be greyed-out. And when using that Option the (Private Browsing) line doesn't show in the Titlebar.

Password protection compatibility and using from our website

I have a spreadsheet that was created in Excel 2013 with each sheet password protected, and there are two problems with opening it in Excel 2003, on a computer that has the Microsoft compatibility add-on fileformatconverters.exe that allows it to open files
created with later versions.
1) When I open the spreadsheet in Excel 2003, I can unprotect it without entering the password. Is there a way to require the password in 2003, same as when someone opens it in Excel 2013?
2) I posted a link to the spreadsheet on our website. If I try to open it from the website with Excel 2003, it thinks it is a zip file. I can save it to my desktop by changing the file extension to xlsx, but is there a way to make it so that outside
users can simply click on the file and it recognizes the file type?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with these two issues.

It's actually very easy to password protect a non-iWeb site on MobileMe.
But you need iWeb first.
Go to MobileMe and make a copy if your current index.html file.
Start iWeb.
Create a Site.
Select password protect in the setup and publish to MobileMe
Visit your site and make sure it displays the login window.
Do not login otherwise you cannot verify it in the next steps.
Go to MobileMe again and open the folder with the Sitename.
Delete everything you see.
Publish your RW pages to that folder.
Delete the index.html file in the root and rename your copy index.html again.
Now visit your protected Site.
Enter the details.
Your RW site will show.
Go back to iWeb.
Change the publish settings to folder. No need to select one.
You can now safely deelte the Site if you want.
Or keep the site and make a note on the page to remember the password in the future.
Practice.

Can I password protect printer and monitor settings?

I am the computer instructor at an elementary school. One of the teachers has a problem with a student who continually changes her preferred printer, her dispslay options, etc. She is running OS9, and I wondered if there was a way to protect her preferences like there is in OSX. She doesn't want to set up multiple users. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks for any input.

Hi, twirlingelephants. Using a utility such as File Buddy 7.6, which could be run from a CD rather than installed on the Mac(s) in question (installing it where students could use it would be the height of folly), your teacher friend could set the Invisible flag on any files she doesn't want tampered with, including the Monitors control panel, the Chooser, even the whole Control Panels folder. Then those files or folders wouldn't appear at all in the Finder, the Apple menu, etc., even though they were still in place and functioning. The student's access to settings would literally vanish. He might be able to guess what had happened, but unless students are able to install software on the school computers willy-nilly (which certainly shouldn't be true), there wouldn't be anything he could do about it.
Of course the student would probably decide to vent his frustration in some other way, so Don's suggestion of unpleasant consequences is certainly appropriate. But if the miscreant's identity is unknown, diverting his vandalism into some other realm could conceivably make him easier to spot.
