How do i open it without the password ?I tried an online software for the same, it works but only partially. It opens my files and just shows me a preview of whats in it and then asks me to buy a license.This is the link to the online software - -find.com/
I have to open an excel file every day and refresh the content to get the newest sales-data. I'd like to automate this with windows task scheduling. Since the excel-file is password protected, i read that the best way is to create another excel file with an workbook_open-macro that opens the desired excel-file.The problem though is, that the code i found still prompts the user to enter the password. I can just hit enter and it'll open then, but why is there still the prompt for it? I am using Excel 365, is there some workaround for this or am i doing something wrong?
One of my files is password protected but when I try to access it via Dropbox.com on my PC I put in my password but it says that it is incorrect. It is not incorrect. I can access the file via my Tablet.
I have this problem: I have some OneNote password-protected files that I created with Office 2010 (and of course I know the pwd). Now I moved to a new laptop with Windows 10 and don't have the old OneNote any more. OneNote for Windows 10 does not have a "Open file" option, but if I I double-click on a regular (non pwd-protected) OneNote file it gets open without any problem. However, if I double-cick on the pwd-protected files, I can see only for a fraction of a second the screen asking for the password, but it disappears immediately and there is no way of bringing it back. Needless to say, the file is not open.Can anybody help me on this issue? I did some search on the Internet with no luck at all, Thanks
Quickly remove PDF password security from a PDF document you created if you no longer need the protection. Just type in the owner password, then opt to remove the PDF security. Now you have an unlocked PDF.
Following my answer. If I can list contents of a password-protected ZIP file, check the file types of each stored file and even replace it with another one, without actually knowing the password, then should ZIP files be still treated as secure?
I can hijack (intercept) someone else's file (password-protected ZIP file) and I can replace one of the files it contains, with my one (fake, virus) without knowing the password. Replaced file will remain unencrypted, not password-protected inside the ZIP, but other files won't be modified.
If a victim unpacks a password-protected archive, extracting program will ask for the password only once, not every time per each file. So end user will not see the difference -- whether the program does not ask for a password, because it already knows it (original file) or because the file being extracted doesn't need a password (file modified by me). This way, I can inject something really bad into a password-protected ZIP file, without knowing its password and count on the receiver assuming the file is unmodified.
Confidentiality - marginal at best. Confidentiality is usually rated in terms of how long it will take to gain access to the protected material. I may be able to change the zip file, but as a hacker it'll take me some amount of time either crack the password or brute force it. Not a lot of time, passwords are one of the weaker protections, and given the way zip files are often shared, social engineering one's way to the password is usually not hard.
If I were to use the a general definition fo Secure to mean that it enforces Privacy, Authentication, Integrity and Non-Repudiation, I would say its is not secure on a number of counts. But as the password protection on an Encrypted ZIP file intends to only provide Privacy (disallowing the viewing of the content of a file except by intended parties) I would say that it does do its job.
The official .ZIP format specification does allow for hiding the list of file names (but not number of files), as well as hiding metadata such as the original file size and CRC of the original file. But you can't use WinZip or Info-Zip to do that. Additionally, integrity in the official .ZIP specification is provided through the use of one or more digital signatures in addition to the encryption. My personal recommendation, though, is to avoid passwords, and instead use public keys. Key derivation functions are constantly getting faster, and I don't believe any vendor has even tried to keep up.
Not everything that is password protected can be hacked by brute force attacks. However, zip files can be cracked by brute force. Other systems have checks in place, like for example, lock out after three attempts, passkey verifications etc.
My tax accountant sent me my tax return as a password-protected .pdf file. I could not open it with my home computer, which is running Mac OS 10.12.4. The file seemed to unlock, but it was blank, and only one page.
However, I could open this file without any problem on my work computer, which at the time was running Mac OS 10.9.5. I asked my accountant to send me another .pdf, and the same thing happened on both computers.
Thanks for your suggestions. Luis, I tried encrypting one of my .pdf files and I was able to open it. Dialabrain, I'm going to try what you suggested on my home computer tonight (I don't want to add more software to my work computer). I'll definitely give both of you helpful and/or solved ratings.
I recently sent a password protected PDF to a friend who uses a Mac. I prepared it using AcrobatPro. I am using Mac 10.12.5. I do not know what he is using. He could not open it successfully. So I started testing this file on my own machine. If I try to open it using Preview, I am asked to enter the password. If I do that, it opens to one blank page. And that is all you ever see. (The original is a large multi-page PDF). In the initial window of Preview (where you are asked for the password) the header reads: NameOfFile.pdf (1 page). That seems very curious. Why would it say (1 page)?
If I take a non-password protected version of the file, open it in Preview and the use the File>Export menu item to create a duplicate and I encrypt that duplicate by checking the Encrypt checkbox and providing a password, then that version of the file is password protected and can be opened successfully by Preview, Acrobat, PDFpenPro etc. once the password is provided.
So I believe that the bug is with Preview. The work-around, if it happens to you personally, is to use an alternate PDF reading app such as AdobeReader. If you are sending the PDF to somebody else who owns a Mac, it becomes a problem because you do not know what their default PDF reading app is. If it is Preview, you can anticipate problems. Now you perhaps have a lot of explaining to do for that Mac user about the whole topic of default apps and how to force open a file in another app. In this scenario, you can take the burden upon yourself by taking a non-encrypted version of the file and encrypt it using Preview rather the AdobeAcrobat. With my testing, that version of the file can be opened by any of the apps once the password is provided.
I have the same problem. I encrypted 44 PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC on OS X 10.12.6 and Preview opens each of the encrypted files (after providing the correct password) as one single blank page. Safari via Google Docs is happy to open the encrypted files properly (not sure if that is Safari decrypting the file or if it's Google Docs). Another thread says this is a bug in Sierra, reported over a year ago (so almost no chance that Apple will fix this in Sierra at this point).
