PDF Files are password protected.  I never set a password

There are a lot of pdf files in the document section.  Must be book or magazine pages as they are titled "page101.pdf" and so on with a date underthem. 
I tried to open one to see what it was and I got a "password protected" and a box to enter my password.  I never set a password for this app.  I tried using my Adobe password and my google password to no avail.
How can I open them to see what they are?
Thanks.

The request for a password has absolutely nothing to do with a password for the application or any relationship to your Google password.
The message password protected refers to the PDF file that you are trying to open. Apparently, whoever created the PDF file either a PDF file creation or subsequently password protected the PDF files. You will need to contact whoever supplied those PDF files to you to obtain whatever the password is or passwords are.

    You might like to look at this post in particular and others by shuntfield in this thread:/t5/Eseries-and-Communicators/E71-Auto-Remote-Lock​/m-p/420626/highlight/true#M34724
    Although you haven't knowingly set a password AFAIK it is possible to change it to new one using the remote lock feature.

  • I see that many people have already complained about Itunes' backup encryption. I NEVER set a password for it (and the corresponding option is still unticked, as always) yet it asked me for a pwd when I upgraded my 3GS to the 5.0 OS. How to solve this?

    To prevent others from reading your mail, don't give them access to your account. If others need to use your computer for some reason, set up personal accounts, or a guest account, and switch to it before allowing them access. This is the simplest, and most effective, method.
    Email message files can be read as plain text in TextEdit or any word processor.
    To protect your email messages from being viewed by others while in your account, you would have to lock the folder, putting it into an encrypted disk image that required a password to be opened and mounted. You would have to double-click on the image and give your password to mount it before launching Mail then unmount it as soon as you're done. My guess is that you could replace the ~/Library/Mail folder with an alias pointing to the folder on the disk image.
    It may work, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary hassle.

  • My ipod won't let me connect to wi-fi, won't let me restore or reset it, and it keeps telling me i knew a passcode for any one and I never set a password up. How do I fix this?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • Got a new iPad and set up to sync with iCloud and now asking for password which I never set. How do I get on device if I don't know what it thinks password is?

    Help.  I just got a new iPad 2 and set up sync with iCloud and no password.  Now asking for a password and I never set one up.  What password does it want: iTunes, iPhone (no real password there either).  Tried as many passwords as I could think with the iPad locking me out since I don't have the password!  Would like to use the iPad but can't get on to try it.
    Thanks.

    So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
    Yes...  sorry.
    In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free  >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless  >  Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

  • Thumbnails of PDF-Files are no longer available ...

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, the thumbnails of the uploaded PDF files are no longer available ...
    Any hints ???
    Kind Regards
    Holger

    Holger, thanks for the screenshot confirming what you are seeing.
    Please click on the broken thumbnail and copy the file link from the browser location bar. Will be something like https://creative.adobe.com/file/40869742-fa53-4dcd-b29c-6962ede2b013.
    No one will be able to view the links (including me) but the the asset ID ("40869742-fa53-4dcd-b29c-6962ede2b013") will allow for further investigation. You can also email them to me at [email protected]
    As a workaround you should be able to download and re-upload the files and have the thumbnails show.

  • Trying to add a VPN but must enter password for credential storage.  What is that?  I never set a password for credential storage.

    I am trying to add a VPN and need to enter password for credential storage.  What is that?  I never set a password for credential storage.  Where do I get it?

  • Apple is asking me for a password to update the OS X. I never set a password, but I can't update the OX without a password. What do I do?

    I never set a password when I bought the iMac, nevertheless, Apple won't update the software without a password. How can I solve this?

    Go to System Preferences, Users & Groups, then Change Password to add a password for the account.
    Even when you are using the default, out-of-the-box addount, which is an admin account, you must have a password set to do software updates.

  • All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default, as I am workin

    I am using Adobe 8 Professional and working on Windows XP. I have been facing an issue lately with opening files in a dual-monitor environment. All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default. There are times when I work only in one monitor and when I open a PDF file and want to have a look at it, I have to connect another monitor to view that file, since this file is open in the secondary monitor. It is very disappointing with such instances happening with Adobe (a leading organization). Can you please help so that the Adobe Reader files open in the primary monitor by default?

    On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.

  • My hp 2450 is asking for a password which I never set up

    I am trying to set up my printers wifi and its asking for a password but i never set one up and don't know where I would find it

    Again, is the printer finding your routers SSID? Input the password for your network and connect. You need to be much more detailed on your setup and troubleshooting steps.

  • PDF files are not opening in IE!!!

    Some PDF files are not displayed while opening in browser IE . The PDF files are generated through servlets (JWS 2.1). While analysing the problem we have found that the one request invokes the doget() method of the servelet more than once. This problem is not appearing in netscape.
    Please give suggestions.

    I am having the same sort of problem. I have a form posting to a servlet that displays a pdf based on the vars posted to it. My doPost() calls doGet(). When I post to the the servlet the doPost() is called and then it calls the doGet() and then SOMETHING else calls the doGet() again. Since the vars that I am using to load the pdf are posted they are out of scope for the second doGet(). I tried two things to fix this:
    I changed my doPost() method to do nothing but check the request variables and hold on to them. Then I changed my doGet() to use the values that I held instead of the request vars. This only worked sometimes.
    Then when I rolled all of my code back and changed my form from POST to GET everything worked fine. It seems that there is something that causes the browser to always call the GET when you are using application/pdf. If my doPost() calls my doGet() everything is lost on the second doGet()

  • PDf files are not directly coming in search results, rather coming as a list item \

    I have shared search from one farm and 2 other farms are consuming it. PDF search is working fine for one consuming farm but for the hosting farm and the other consuming farm it is showing the result as list item but not as a direct link to the document.
    Any suggestion pls
    When the other consuming farm uses the own dedicated search service then pdf files are coming in search result but when it is pointing to the shared proxy it is not working. But for one consuming farm it is working fine.

    Hi ,
    Whether you crawled the same content source using the Shared Search service application. If not, please crawl a same content, test again and compare the result.
    In addition, whether you configured PDF correctly for the Shared Search, please try to configure it again as the link:
