To open a password protected ,Apple works created file in pages

When I tried to open a password protected .cwk file created using Apple works 6 in the Pages of iwork'08 I get a message that the ile cannot be imported as it is password protected and it doesnot give an open to enter the password. Unfortunately i donot have Appleworks 6 in my machine. However I am able to open all the other files of the same format which are not password protected.
Can any one help me out?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Try icWord from Panergy Software. It has been known to open password protected files. You could then copy & paste into your Pages document or save as an AppleWorks 6 document again using a different name. You can download a fully-functional demo from the web site.

Internet Explorer will not open a password-protected webpage

I've asked this question in the General Discussion forum but
did not find a solution. I am using DW8.0.2 / MySQL 4.1 / PHP5.1 to
create PHP login and restricted access webpages. Locally (i.e.
Windows XP / IIS5.0), they all function properly no matter what
browser I use. However, on my ISP's server that running Linux /
Apache, Internet Explorer 6.x or 7.x will not open the
password-protected webpages - all the other php pages open and
function properly. I can use Opera, Netscape, or Firefox and the
pw_protected webpages open fine - just not in IE.
I've tried cookies on / off, popup blocker on / off, and
changed my PHP login scripting - all to no avail. Any one have any
ideas why IE won't open a PHP-scripted pw-protected webpage while
all other browsers can?

Thanks for your suggestion. I've added the site to IE's
Trusted Zone... but no luck. And to test further, I've turned off
EVERY 'disable' feature I could in IE and still no joy.
Could the problem be how IE proceses (or doesn't process) my
PHP logon scripts and possibly does not pass the session on to
Apache (the server is a Linux box running Apache)? I'm enclosing my
scripts for review and hopefully for a discovery of why this is
happening only in IE and not the other browsers.
Here is my logon script:
<?php
// *** Start the session
session_start();
// *** Validate request to log in to this site.
$FF_LoginAction = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']) &&
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']!="") $FF_LoginAction .=
"?".htmlentities($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']);
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['Username'])) {
$FF_valUsername=$HTTP_POST_VARS['Username'];
$FF_valPassword=$HTTP_POST_VARS['Password'];
$FF_fldUserAuthorization="Status";
$FF_redirectLoginSuccess="bulletin_edit.php";
$FF_redirectLoginFailed="access_error.html";
$FF_rsUser_Source="SELECT Username, Password ";
if ($FF_fldUserAuthorization != "") $FF_rsUser_Source .= ","
. $FF_fldUserAuthorization;
$FF_rsUser_Source .= " FROM tblaccess WHERE Username='" .
$FF_valUsername . "' AND Password='" . $FF_valPassword . "'";
mysql_select_db($database_leathernecks, $leathernecks);
$FF_rsUser=mysql_query($FF_rsUser_Source, $leathernecks) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_FF_rsUser = mysql_fetch_assoc($FF_rsUser);
if(mysql_num_rows($FF_rsUser) > 0) {
// username and password match - this is a valid user
$MM_Username=$FF_valUsername;
session_register("MM_Username");
if ($FF_fldUserAuthorization != "") {
$MM_UserAuthorization=$row_FF_rsUser[$FF_fldUserAuthorization];
} else {
$MM_UserAuthorization="";
session_register("MM_UserAuthorization");
if (isset($accessdenied) && false) {
$FF_redirectLoginSuccess = $accessdenied;
mysql_free_result($FF_rsUser);
session_register("FF_login_failed");
$FF_login_failed = false;
header ("Location: $FF_redirectLoginSuccess");
exit;
mysql_free_result($FF_rsUser);
session_register("FF_login_failed");
$FF_login_failed = true;
header ("Location: $FF_redirectLoginFailed");
exit;
?>
And here is the script that appears on each restricted
webpage:
<?php
// *** Restrict Access To Page: Grant or deny access to this
page
$FF_authorizedUsers=" edit";
$FF_authFailedURL="access_error.html";
$FF_grantAccess=0;
session_start();
if (isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_Username"])) {
if (false ||
!(isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_UserAuthorization"])) ||
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_UserAuthorization"]=="" ||
strpos($FF_authorizedUsers,
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_UserAuthorization"])) {
$FF_grantAccess = 1;
if (!$FF_grantAccess) {
$FF_qsChar = "?";
if (strpos($FF_authFailedURL, "?")) $FF_qsChar = "&";
$FF_referrer = "Restricted Area";
$FF_authFailedURL = $FF_authFailedURL . $FF_qsChar .
"accessdenied=" . urlencode($FF_referrer);
header("Location: $FF_authFailedURL");
exit;
?>
Any ideas, suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007. Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files. The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files. The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again. I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files. I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

Will boot camp, VMware, or Paralles allow me to open a password protected powerpoint file?

Everyting I'm reading says I have to use either a windows computer, or have the creator send the document to me as unprotected.
Seems like if you didn't have access to a windows computer, and didn't have time to wait for the creator to send a new version, there would be a work around.
I've moved over Mac, and am trying to convince my wife to do the same. However, she's concerned that since she runs her legal firm out of her home office, she will run into situation in which can can get something done if she's on a Mac. I almost had her convinced this would never happen, and then she got this password protected powerpoint that she had to share with another attorney, who responded to her that when she tried to open it, she got a message that it couldn't open a password protected document. I tried it on my Macbook Pro and got the same message.
Anyone know if there's an easy work around for this?
(p.s. I saw a post where someone used NeoOffice for a similar situation with a password protected Excel document, but since I'm on Lion and it requires a $10 donation, I didn't want to shell out $10 just to find out it wouldn't work.)
Thanks,
Jeff

Yes... and it works...
Because you really are running a full-up Windows inside a window running on Lion....
VMWare emulates a hardware computer....   and you install Windows, then Microsoft Office for Windows...
And you end up with a "machine within a machine"...
BUT...   BUT....
You have to purchase one of each:
   VMWare Fusion
   Microsoft Windows
   Microsoft Office for Windows (not the same license as Microsoft Office for MAC..)
This won't be cheap... it will cost money...
But I do it all the time...

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.

Intel iMac, Open Firmware Password Protection and booting from CD

I have an Intel iMac I'm setting up for use in a public library. I want to prevent single user login with the Open Firmware Password Protection utility, but if I do, how do I boot from the OS disc, zap PRAM, etc? The OFPP page has instructions on removing the OF password, but it does not work on Intel Mac's. Also, is there an alternative way to prevent single user login?

No, you were right, I just misunderstood. Technically it's called single-user mode. But, you were right.
Anyway,
Since it seems that there might not be an answer directly related to your topic you could maybe give this a try.
In Simple Finder the user can not restart or shutdown. They can only sleep and log out.
The other problem, however, is if they log out then there are those Sleep, Restart, and Shut Down buttons on the login screen. Luckily, though they can be turned off.
So as of now, if some is logged in in a Simple Finder account they can not restart or shut down the computer in order to get into single-user mode. They can also not get into the Administer account since it is password protected.
The only problem I can see with this is that a person could do a hard shut down, hold the power button down until it turns off, and then boot up and enter single-user mode.
If you want to go ahead and do this, in order to get the computer up and running in the mean time, just post back and I'll be glad to help you set up a Simple Finder account.

No place to Double Click visible on pdf file-after opening a password-protected pdf

No place to Double Click visible on pdf file-after opening a password-protected pdf

Thanks Pat for your interest.
Actually I am using Windows 8 (Not 8.1) and Adobe Reader Version XI (11.0.06)
Now, the exact problem I am facing is that there are certain types of pdf files I am being sent which are Password pritected (it may not be a necessary condition, i don;t know) and after I have keyed-in the correct password, it flashes the message- "Double-click here to open your file". Now while using the earlier versions of Adobe (or maybe Windows) I used to see a peculiar Pin-shaped object on the screen, double-clicking which used to open the file. That object is somehow missing this time, so I have no place to double-click. Therefore I am not able to open the file.I may add that I have recently moved to Windows 8 from XP, so my knowledge of Windows 8 is not up to mark. Can you please help?

How can I open items made with apple works

How can I open items made with apple works

You need to purchase Pages for your iMac. You can buy it from the App Store.
I don't know if the version of Pages for the iPad will open the Apple Works documents. If you have the documents on your Mac and want to open them on your iPad the easiest way I can think of is to open a DropBox (Google it) account and store the documents there. Then you can try to open the documents in Pages on your iPad. If that doesn't work then I know Pages for OS X will open the Apple Works WP documents.

Open Firmware Password Protection?

Anyone had any luck setting this up? I don't see it on the DVD... I am hesitant to use the one from my Tiger CDs... anyone know how to setup Open Firmware Password Protection on Leopard?

Thanks for detailing your solution Mac Campbell.
Unfortunately I can't locate the Firmware Password Protection application in the directory you listed nor any other folder for that matter. I'm not confident its been installed on my system (clean install of Leopard btw). Could you please confirm its exact location for this Terminal newbie.
Many thanks in advance.
