Recovering password for a Pages document?

I can't believe that if I've forgotten the password then the doc is gone, gone forever.
I would have bet money on what my password was, but of course it's not working. No hints coming up, no other options to recover it.
Don't know what to do. Oh dear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The level of encryption is so high that you have two choices:
1. Ask the CIA
2. Ask the Russians.
You did want it to be secure?
I repeatedly warn users that the person you are most likely to keep out of your own files, is yourself. Nobody else really cares.

Password for a pages document

Hi,
I just switched from a windows notebook to an iBook. How do I set a password for opening and modifying a Pages document as you do in Word? Thanks.

Not from within the iWork applications. Use an encrypted disk image or a third-party method. Placing the password in the keychain will automatically unlock the image when your Mac OS X account is active.

How do you remove the password from a pages document?

Hello, for the first time, I created a password for a pages document, and I blocked the document too.
I've tried to unblock and I can't, and I've tried to delete the password but I can't neither.
Every time I try, when I close the document tells me, oh sorry pages couldn't save the changes.
And it says, create a copy o cancel.
I've removed the copies but now I can't delete the password or even delete it, because it says I'm not allow to.
Please, help!!
I don't know what else can I do.
Thanks.

Thanks for the information.
On your Mac....open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

No, Apple can't help. Just connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode. For that mode see:

Folders for my pages documents on icloud

I would like to make folders for my pages documents on icloud can this be done easily? Also the icloud help menu claims I am not connected to internet what is going on there? I am obviously connected I made this post didn't I or is my head in the clouds?

Hi crward.
The application I was using is Pages for OS X, not the beta iCloud app. Apple did recover most of the lost data but not all--there remains a discrepancy of about (33) thirty-three documents. (see below)
As to your recommendation... As for Google, I've had a Gmail/Google Apps .EDU account since my college days, all the data in Google Docs/Drive hasn't been touched since I left it so that's a good sign. In contrast, considering this is the second time I've suffered a data loss with iCloud (Sep. 2013, when iOS 7 was released), I am ready to pull the plug and move on to another service like Google or Microsoft. My wife has an Office 365 subscription and uses OneDrive (not Google) a lot, I may take her up on it--they get 1TB of storage! (I'd be lucky to use more than a GB or two.) Most, if not all, of my colleagues use Word/Office so I will likely be limping back to using Word again. I used Pages all through graduate school and beyond, no issues with the app itself; however, since Pages saves documents by default to iCloud, I had little reason to think it would less-safe on iCloud than on my own computer (HDDs crash all the time).
Moving forward, I will be advising my friends, family, and colleagues to avoid iCloud altogether.
This is what Apple recovered.... Approx. 173 documents, approximately 84% of what there originally was. (I've already moved them to Google Drive for safe keeping)
This is what was originally in there... 205 documents.

I am trying to type a password into a Pages document. The number goes in OK but when I hit return or any other key the numbers get transposed. What happens and how do I corret it? Thanks

I am trying to type a password into a Pages document. It types in OK, but when I press return or close the document some of the letters in the password get transposed. What happens and how can I fix this? Thanks.

Are you just typing ordinary text into a word processing document or are you trying to set a password on the document itself?
If it is the first perhaps Pages is trying to spell check the password. You can tell it to ignore that "word", or turn spellchecking off.

How do you set a password for a text document

I was wondering, does anyone know how to set a password for a text document for example, if you have your passwords saved on a text document, how can you get a password to retreive them.

How about Dashcrypt?

Can you password protect a Pages document saved in Word format

Hi
I know how do do it for a Pages document, but when I try to save as a Word document it appears I can't. Is that not allowed?

I think they are just using different methods.

Ask your question.How do I change the template for a pages document

How do I change the template for a pages document?

Once you've opened it, the opened document is no longer a template. Edit it as you would any other Pages document.
If you want to use the edited document as a Template, then , after editing, go File > Save as Template, give the new template a name, and click Save.
The old template will remain available in the location where you found it; the new one will be in the My Templartes sectionof the Templates Chooser.

Can somebody the form to put a password for open a document please

can somebody the form to put a password for open a document please, I try to put security but appear this error "the document can not to file. trouble reading the document (14)"

Hi there,
If I understand correctly, you're trying to convert a file but can't because it's password protected? If so, the only way around that is to remove the password protection (which would require knowing the password).
If I misunderstood your question, please let us know.
Best,
Sara

How do i password protect a pages document?

i have a document that i created in pages. it is a worksheet for brides (we are wedding photographers). i use to have the document set up so when i email the document to a client, they can read the questions/timeline but cannot edit my text. i have cells in tables that they can answer in. the cells were grey in color. the way i did this was by maybe putting a password on the document (which left the area grey for them to respond in). but i cannot remeber how i did this. i'm wondering if anyone knows what i'm talking about and/or how to do it.

Password protection prevents a document from being opened without the password.
Locking an object (such as a text box or table) prevents the object of its contents from being altered without first unlocking the object. No password protection is available for this, though, so the recipient could easily unlock the object and change its content.
At least one of Adobe's PDF applications offers the features you want—non-editable base document with fields that can be filled by the user, then saved and the file returned.

Creating unique passwords for a PDF document

I'm going to be selling a PDF eBook on the Internet.
I would like to know if there is a way to create a unique PDF password for each customer
rather than having every customer have the same password that was created in Adobe Pro.
I purchased a $20 eBook that requires you to enter a unique alpha-numeric
password (given only to me) before the Adobe file shows the eBook contents.
I was given a password upon purchasing and when I downloaded and double clicked
on the PDF file, it had the standard message
"this PDF is protected. Please enter a Document Open Password."
They company selling that product must have found a way to create unique passwords
for each customer with their PDF document.
Any help or comments would be appreciated.

George - what I will be selling is a 650-page PDF eBook. Given the amount of content (especially the quality of the content), it's worth protecting it. LockLizard and such products are too high for a startup like mine. They are geared more for the enterprise business level.
Dave Merchant - I right clicked on the PDF eBook I mentioned in my original post that seems to have a unique password for each customer. On the 'general' tab, it says at the bottom:
"Security: This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer."
I'm not sure if that tells you anything.
What's interesting is that after I cancelled the order for that $20 eBook product, the password still works - so the company using that password system either does not have the capability to revoke access or they simply forgot to revoke access to the eBook for me personally.
BTW, I found out that e-junkie.com has a PDF stamping option that will stamp each buyer's PDF with their name, email address, and transaction number. That would help. But I would still like to have the customer have to login with a unique password or key code to access the eBook contents. Having tenchology that revokes access to the eBook would also be ideal, but that might be too expensive to implement.
thanks

How to get passwords working in Pages documents?

I've set a pages document to require a password to open. When I open the file, it opens without requiring this password. Any thoughts on how to get the password working? The doc is on icloud, could that be a factor?

Finally, I've added a new field movement in transaction GCF2 with sender tables ACCHD, ACCIT_GLX AND ACCCR. The joint venture name comes only from FI documents and not JVA documents, so, only JVA information of P&L accounts is available.
Best regards,
Alfredo Del Portillo

You can now password protect a Pages document...

It's in the Document inspector at the bottom. You can do this with Numbers and Keynote as well.
Now I can finally move my tests out of word...:) YAY!
Scott

the algorithm used for PDFs must be compatible with the Adobe's one.
There are two levels of encryption for the Portable Document Format. Older versions of the format can only use low bit encryption. Newer versions of the format can use either low bit or high bit encryption. Apple Mac OS X uses low bit encryption.
Apple Mac OS X has removed encryption when it was present. For instance, the Apple ColorSync Utility at one point could be used for this trick. There is a very, very, very respectable University in the United States with a public page on decryption for the Portable Document Format.
And then there is Elcomsoft, a company in Russia that sells decryption as well for low bit as for high bit. One argument is that in prepress, if a client by mistake has encrypted a printing master, there is a legitimate case for decrypting that printing master.
By the bye, as far as I can tell the implementation of low bit encryption in Apple Mac OS X is broken.
