Password protection using stars ** in a JTextField

I have a password area but when you type into it you can see the password. How do i change it to ***stars*** without actuals changing the text.
Thanx

Use a JPasswordField instead of a JTextField.

Can a file be password protected using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard? No one seems to have answered this question in the trending questions.

I just purchased Adobe Acrobat because it was recommended to password protect files.
However, when I checked out the Tools > Protection > Encrypt> "Encrypt with Password" is greyed out.

Thanks.

Yes, it can. Use File > Properties, and click the Security tab. Click Change, and set what you need. When the file is saved, the security is set.
BE SURE TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL FILE TOO.

How to create PDF from Excel with Password Protection Using Visual Studio & Visual Basic

Could someone provide some VB code sample(s) to create a PDF file with password protection (Security Method - Password Security - Restrict Editing & Printing)?
I create a bunch of reports every week using an Excel 2010 addin that subsequently must be printed to PDF. I then have to manually edit the properties of each document in order to apply the printing restriction.
I'm using Acrobat X.
I've downloaded the SDK but have no idea which dll's to use or where to begin.
Thanks!
Ross

That's surprising & disappointing. I would have thought that this capability would have long since been requested.
Thanks for the heads up.

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:

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.

Password protected document created in Acrobat XI (Mac) can't be opened by Reader XI (Windows)

I have a document that I created and password protected using Acrobat 11.0.2 (Mac).
I can open it with the same password using Reader 11.0.2 (Mac) but not Reader 11.0.2 (Windows). On Windows I get an "invalid password" message.
Anyone else found this?

I can tell you in my testing that my results were consistent regardless of whether I typed the hyphen at the keyboard or pasted it in from a text document.
So, that still leaves us with "is this a bug?" or "is it a prohibited character?"
Obviously, in these days of concern over password strength, it is important to understand the range of available character set, so we can select effective (and legal) characters and not have to deal with the trial-and-error of trying to learn which characters to avoid.
I am also still confused as to why the exact same password, entered in the exact same manner succeeds on one platform and not another. Unless the input dialog is silently converting the character (which I think could only be diagnosed with a debugger), results should be consistent. After all, the "P" in PDF does stand for "Portable".
Do you have the resources to try and reproduce my test case? I would be curious to know if the problem occurs both ways or just Mac->Windows.

Can the adobe reader mobile app open standard password protected AES256 encrypted files (not Livecycle) made by Acrobat XI?

I downloaded the adobe mobile reader for iOS just now and tried opening a pdf file created by Acrobat XI and optimized (no errors reported) for web and mobile devices the file was password encrypted (*not livecycle*) using 256AES, compatibility acrobat X with restrictions allow: none, printing allowed low rez.
when acrobat mobile reader launched the pdf it required a password and even with the correct password used for changing security settings failed to open.
how can people secure pdf's from unauthorized editing their work in Acrobat XI using (Acrobat X compatibility), standard password protection using AES256 bit encryption and open using the adobe mobile reader app ?

I actually need at least three people to successfully open my free pdf using the Adobe Free acrobat viewer for mobile devices or my client want to remove the access for mobile devices link.
Can anyone test please the free pdf that it opens on iOS or Android ?
the guest checkout is enabled just need to put shipping info to access the Download File 2
The wordpress link is below image
mahalo in advance

Urgent...help password protection...

hello...
Anyone out there know the coding for password protection using application....for example the user will type in the username and password and a statement will come out to validate the password...
Thanks a lot..
-pal-

Hi! A simple way of approaching the matter is to read the user name and the password from the GUI, then get the password from the database corresponding to the username and compare the two. You'll need to use JDBC for the latter.
Here are a couple of points to remember. You may want to determine if your password scheme is case-sensitive or not. Secondly, you may want to use the setEchoChar() method (if you're using a java.awt.TextField object for getting the password from the user) so that the password is not echoed to the screen while the user is typing it.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask if something's not too clear.
Cheers!

Password protected web page

Hi,
Is there any way to make one page password protected using javascript or php?
Thanks

For one page, set up a password protected directory/folder on your server and put your protected page in that directory/folder.
If you have cPanel or Plesk access on your server, you can do this yourself.
Otherwise ask your host to set it up for you. Takes no more than a minute or so.

I want to use wifi for Apple TV, but it doesn't prompt for a password, so never connects. What am I missing? Can I only use it via a non-password-protected wifi connection?

Hi - you might want to post this question on the Apple TV area - you would probably get a quicker response - if you have a specific question relating to Apple routers then post back here

Having AppleTV remember the password is optional.
Logout of iTunes store, log back in and hopefully next time you come to purchase you'll be prompted for your password but decline the option to remember it. You might also want to look out of parental controls on the unit.

How to show ipad application in itunes, but will only be assessable to owners, not the general public.Using lock code/password protected on iTunes

How to show ipad application in itunes, but will only be assessable to owners, not the general public by using lock code/password protected on iTunes

So if I understand you properly, I need to create EOs for all my list of values (which are based on views of Oracle apps tables) and base my VO on those EOs. And then I setup associations between these EOs and the Item EO. Then I include the these EOs in my Items VO and add the description attributes to my list of attributes. I had done this for the list of users, but for the views of Oracle I had just created read only VO. Sounds like that won't work if I want to display the description. I know what to do - I guess I was hoping there was a way to use the read only VO.
Thanks

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.

Hey guys I got a used iBook from a family friend who had it password protected and he doesn't remember the password.Is there a way to get around this without wiping the computer?I don't have any of software discs and can't update or delete anything.Thanx

Hey guys I got a used iBook from a family friend that has it password protected.I can't update or delete programs or download anything without the passwords and he doesn't remember them.Is there any way for me to get around these without wiping the computer and starting from scratch?

Hello,
Sadly without the system disk you can't do a lot. I would suggest you enable root user, log in as root and reset your administrators password, however you can't without knowing the administrator password first.
The only solution would be is to obtain the correct system disk or buy a retail copy of Mac OS X. But note, it depends on what version of the iBook you own depends, on what version of Mac OS X you will require.
You can still obtain the system disk or retail disks from online vendors, but they come at a cost.
System disk are grey in color, while retail disk have a big 'X' on it.
Best of luck

If they've implemented the password system correctly there probably isn't a way of getting the password at all.
