Not as far as I know, there might be some third party software that allows it, but the best way to do it would be to set up a temporary guest account that he/she can use while accessing your laptop.

xp, you set up administrator rights that should passworded. W2k and w98 also have easy password controls

Some pen drives come with driver cd which includes password protect, however this function is 'leaky' for example going to start -> run -> browse, allows me to access my files without password.\n\nIf the files you want private are ms office documents, office has a built in password system,\n\nSave As, Tools (top right) -> security.\n\nScreen grab here ---> http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/randompenguin/grab.JPG

lol!! just after you turn the computer on hit shift f8 then boot in safe mode this will allow you to bypass the password and security settings.

Install a software firewall on your computer and set the feature to lock the connection after the desired time. It works like a screen saver. If you want to limit the total access try setting the computer to boot only to the hard drive. Then set the BIOS password and slap a lock on the case so that the BIOS cannot be cleared. Also set the password on your screen save. I have mine set for 10 minutes in case I leave my desk.\nDo not use names for a password. Mix upper and lower case and numbers, letters, and symbols. Add letter 8 characters.\n\nRemeber, if someone want in there is nothing you can do to stop them.

In a drive whose file stystem is NTFS, when chosen the properties of the drive, there'll be an option of "ENCRYPTING", which allows u to protect the drive with a password of ur user

If it isn't automatically detecting it, you'll likely need to manually enter the information.  There should be an option in the bios to manually enter it - you'll likely need to consult your HD documentation to get the drive's geometry so you can input it.

well for me I just right click and under properties, i go to add passowrd. or i highlight th folder and rigth click scroll down to password protect. then i fill in my password. don't lose it, cause you won't be able to access it again if you do.\non my system if i lose the password. you won't be able to delete the folder either since it will be protected.\nnote- there is a glitch... the passworded folders are still accessible by browser if they know a file inside, by typing the "drive" name, "Folder", "subfolder", then "FILE" name. I do it easy by going to the browser and clciking then drive letter, opening the folders down to the passworded folder, then I search that folder with *.* and then pull the files from the folder without ever having to open the folder.\n\noh i forgot to add, i needed to also run Upnp so that the drive was accessible. once you can see your drive. IFF you have admin rights, you can unprotect the pin drive properies. But seeing as that you said you have a folder there, i take it your system sees the drive.

If it was your Laptop wouldn't you know the password? Stolen laptop maybe?  You can't if it comes on near the beginning of the boot cycle, if so its a bios level password and can not be bypassed even with a start up disk. think of the password or throw the laptop in the trash.

set your hard drive as the master drive in the computer you are using (friends) if it boots up go into your account and then remove the password or just do then on the drive what you are trying to do from the hard drive you are using ( friends)

I assume you are windows XP. No, you cant look it up. Yes, you can hack into it by using a utility that will blank out your existing password. Get the Ultimate Boot CD for Windows. Link below.\n\nCAREFUL - You can REALLY hose your pc with this. Make sure you read and understand everything!!!

basically yes,\nmay require other security software,\n\nthere is option in properties of folder,to put in sharing, shared documents, and select[ _ ]private,\n\ndont forget password though, also write down somewhere for backup...

In Windows XP, there are a few ways to do it, but the easiest is to compress the folder and use the folder's built-in password protection. See this article:\n\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,110663,00.asp
