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

There are few possibilities:\n1.Use Compressed (Zipped) Folders \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306531\nhttp://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000705.htm\n2.Remove Administrator and other Useres from the list in the folder's permissions and only leave your User Name and System.\n3 Use other software like free Cryptainer\nhttp://www.snapfiles.com/features/cryptainer-707-464512.php

i never used a server before but if it is just like windows create a compressed zipped folder and place the files in it once u place them in it hide the original files in a hidden folder and set up your computer to not show hidden folders in the control panel or just put them in a place were no one goes and then go back to the compressed folder and open it and in the file menu it will say set password and u set yourself a password that you will be able to remember and your done good luck

If you are talking about Microsoft Office files, you can set the password at:\nTools > Options > Security > Password to open\n\nIf you want to Secure contents of a whole folder, Right Click, go to Properties > Under General tabs attribute section select Advanced and click "Encrypt content to secure data". This uses your current windows credentials to encrypt and your data would be safe from others.

Try the offline Windows NT Password Editor.  Or alternatively try booting into safe mode and typing in administrator at the login prompt.  A lot of the time that USER ID has no password but can usually only be accessed by booting into safe mode

hello,\nyou dont need a program, just select which directory you want to make "password protected" .. your host should give this option. If not I would suggest a different host like yahoo hosting which has this option.
