Password protected Numbers document

Hi,
I created a password protected Numbers document, off course I have forgotten the password to it.
Is there any way to recover the contents of this document? (3rd party app?)
I've read that Numbers doesn't encrypte the files so I'm guessing there must be a way.
Regards
Andries

Who said that Numbers doesn't encrypt the file?
Some of us wrote that we don't know the level of protection offered by the encryption scheme, no less, no more.
If I compare the Index.xml.gzip of a normally saved document and he one available in a protected one, the contents are completely differents (even the size changes).
If you buy a security lock for your house's door, I assume that you will take care of it.
It's the same with the keyword sed to encrypt a document.
Numbers is fair enough to give you the indice which you where urged to enter when you defined the password.
It you can't remember te code with this indice, it woul de useful to forger not only the passwords but also, the protection feature.

I have a password protected Numbers document I created on my MAC and share via DROPBOX. Is there any way to simply view this doc on my IPAD without purchasing NUMBERS for the IPAD?

I use NUMBERS on my MAC to create a password protected document. I share this doc via DROPBOX. Is there any way I can view the doc on my IPAD without purchasing NUMBERS for the IPAD? The doc opened fine on the IPAD before protecting it with a password.

Using the term "opened" may have been incorrect on my part. Before password protection, I simply viewed the doc by selecting it within my DROPBOX app. No revisions could be made, but I could view the doc. Now, with the doc password protected, the IPAD states this file can not be viewed.
The IPAD users guide gives a list of files IPAD can view. Unfortunately, I find no info on how to open/view that file should it be protected. If
THANKS

Is there a way to password protect iCloud documents?

Is There a way to password protect iCloud documents on my Mac and on iPad?

Roger not so fast. Check this out: I own a studio with about 8 staff ranging from accounts, editors, creative directors and client services. Sometimes, there's even an intern or an outside contractor present for a period of time. So far we use pages and numbers to handle all the scripts, schedules, shot lists, etc and I'd like to also store some of the admin contents (again, files generated in pages, begging for iCloud), proposals, budgets... They should at the very least, let you password protect a folder.
It's so surprising that Apple doesn't simply extend their now FANTASTIC App/iCloud/Device integration ever so slightly in the direction of the SMALL PRODUCTION HOUSE. I have thouroughly investigated everything from Studiometry to Rule to Evernote. Bloat. Bloat. And more bloat!
Apple while you're at it, offer domain name resolution so we can actually use the email service. Right now half my setup is tangled up with google apps and gmail. I shudder at the thought.
Ps I'd have separate apple accounts for each employee but nothing beats the single integration of iCal and contacts etc.

How to password protect numbers file on iphone?

How to password protect numbers file on iphone?
I've made a password protected numbers file on iMac and saved it to itunes.
When i open this file on my iphone for the first time i have to type in the password. But afterwards it's not protected anymore and i can open the file without the password!
How can i secure my files?

There is at this time no way to put a password in the Numbers app nor on a Numbers spreadsheet, and as Michael said it's not something a third-party developer could add. You can suggest that Apple add a password feature via their feedback pages:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
or you can look for a third-party spreadsheet app that does allow password-protecting a sheet. Documents To Go from Dataviz is a commonly-recommended app that supports spreadsheets, but I don't know if they support passwording.

I can no longer access a password protected Numbers file with the correct password. Error message only says the file "cannot be opened."

I'm using Numbers version 3.2.2.
Suddenly I cannot access my password protected Numbers file with the correct password. I have the correct password written down so I know I haven't made a mistake.
The response box that pops up says that the file cannot be opened. There are no other options for me to choose from.

Also, I tried to open it through an older version of Numbers but it sent this error message.

Is there a way to password protect a document in the app Pages?

Password protected PDF document not opened with E7...

Dear all,
Password protected PDF document not opened with nokia E7-00. Previously I used nokia N79, that time I was able to open Password protected PDF file such as bank email statement etc. Now I can't.
It is quite disappointing with this phone !

hi mateys,
you may want to search under "PDF" in the Nokia Store, as some solutions such as Picsel Smart Office exist, where they do open password-protected PDF's.

Password protecting a document

How can I password protect a document in Pages so that only I can access it when I provide my password? Thanks!

p,
In iWork 09, we can apply a password in the Document Inspector, Document Tab. In iWork 08, we use Disk Utility.app to create a secure folder to save our work in. So, the file itself isn't protected, but access to the folder it is stored in is very secure.
To make a secure folder, start Disk Utility and click on New Image on the Tool Bar. Name the folder, select a Volume Size that's larger than you might ever need, leave the Volume Format on the default, set the Encryption to the lower number of bits (recommended), Single Partition, Image Format > Sparse Disk Image.
Don't forget your password because the encryption is such that you'll never crack it and your work will be lost with the password. If you use a secure User Account password to access your account on the computer, you can have Keychain remember your disk image password for convenience. If you carry your work around on a flash drive, you won't have to worry about anyone reading it if you lose the drive.

Password protecting scanned documents

I can password protect pdf files, but when I scan a document, it won't allow me to password protect it. When I do "Save as" it doesn't give me security options. When I "print as pdf" it will give me security options but once I put in the password and try to save it, it says it doesn't save in print mode. I think my scanner may be scanning into Adobe Reader? What do I need to do to password protect these documents?

Not impossible at all because it already had the password!
The point is that some apps can set a password. We can't look inside your computer and tell you what apps you have, and which ones you were using to make particular PDF files.
There are two different ways to have a password on a PDF.
1. At the time it is made. Some apps offer this choice. Adobe Reader does not make new PDF files, only reads ones you made before so this does not apply.
2. Later. Adobe Reader can read the file BUT NOT SET A PASSWORD. The Adobe Mac app that does this is called "Adobe Acrobat Pro XI".

Here is a link refering to the Help menu. _http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9679992_
In the Help menu you can also download the Pages User Guide. At the bottom of page 35, English version, you can read about password-protecting your document.

Downloading Lion has wiped out excel and word. Numbers can't open a password protected excel document

How do I access Excel on my Mac after downloading Lion. I get the message that Power PC applications are no longer supported. numbers won't open excel password protected documents

Well, check that this is Pro workstation, not Lion, and not MBP....
Rosetta / PowerPC is not supported, so you must also have an out of date version of Office like 2004 or earlier. 2008 and 2011 do work, though there may be 3rd party extensions or plug-ins that do not.

How to password protect "Numbers" app on iPad.

It would seem that iPad users might like to password-protect other Apps as well. If there isn't an App to do so, someone should create one. No, I don't want to jailbreak to get the Cydia app.

There is at this time no way to put a password in the Numbers app nor on a Numbers spreadsheet, and as Michael said it's not something a third-party developer could add. You can suggest that Apple add a password feature via their feedback pages:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
