@EasyTechGeek plz reply how i can change my password . I have forgotten my password

[@lochisdelights5054]

Hi

[@irenesimon8332]

how to unlocked if i forgot the password?

[@mustafaalamarah]

why everybody forget their password bruh if you want to lock an important file why would you forget it

[@joshpi6008]

so basically it's not locking or unlocking a folder rather it's hiding or unhiding. a special tips for those who can think the bat file can be opened in text editor and the password can be revealed.. use text obfuscator to obfuscate texts so they become human unreadable. no one will ever find your password but it's still work as it is! ;)

[@aukemaas354]

How exactly would this be done? And is it used on the .bat file or on the hidden files?

[@rezz1er]

HOW TO ADD MORE SECURITY!!! I place the .bat file in another location after its locked up and by doing that it won't work in another location. just past the .bat file back in the folder where the "contents lives" its like a key and just place your key/.bat file somewhere safe I place them in my documents. I use this for flash drives my flash drives looks empty if someone plugged it in until I add the .bat file to the hard drive and bam I'm back in biz after I enter my password. hope this helps

[@Darkknight9035]

@@rezz1er but that's just too much effort... what if I need to use that secret folder frequently? i have to keep dragging it back and forth constantly... its such a hassle in that case

[@rezz1er]

@@Darkknight9035 I use it for back up drives that has my data on it I don't want people pluging in my drive and all my files are visible lol I don't use for anything else and it takes like 10 seconds to drag that file in to a folder so I don't know how much a hassle that is when most locker programs have to start up and then you have to use a password to unlock so it's the same amount of effort and time if you need a folder locker there are free ones but they might be viruses or they might charge a fee this is absolutely FREE so yeah google folder lockers and pay for a better option

[@rezz1er]

@@Darkknight9035 sh*t I just use it for my back up hard drives, so no one can just plug it in and access my data. I don't see it being that much of a hassle as you can try folder lockers from Google (some might be viruses) and the start up time for the program to launch and and for you to put your password is much more of a hassle then this option and don't forget this is a free option. so what is there to complain about if it's a hassle pay for a better option and honestly you seem way to paranoid like is this private folder on YOUR computer because I mean if you are on YOUR computer and you are that scared/paranoid of someone snooping threw your folders then maybe you shouldn't be on YOUR computer with other people around because it is YOUR personal PC. all computers have a password when its start up. so as long as your not handing over your password to people that are going to snoop at your private stuff then whats there to be scared of unless its illegal. You seem to be really pariond to be honest it's YOUR computer use it for YOUR self and use a GUEST profile around other people like friends and family so they don't find your creepy hidden files. Or pay for a encrypted folder locker with military encryption them are your options

I'm not tech-savvy; want to send my laptop for repair, so would like to follow your method to save the apps (Telegram, Adobe Acrobat, Dropbox, WPS Office etc) and files into the "Private" folder to prevent the technician from accessing my files. Will this help? Also, will I still be able to receive Telegram messages while it is locked in the Private folder? And after the laptop is repaired, how to delete the bat file?

[@bishnusharma3090]

I can just right click on the lock file and select edit with notepad. I will be shown the password easily. Any solutions ?

[@gamokguy200]

This doesn't work at all, you can find the password for the "lock fold.bat" folder if you just change it from ".bat" back to ".txt" and skim around in the text folder for the password. All this provides is shallow protection that is easily unlockable for anyone even a little tech savvy.

[@yukers]

There is a much easier way to find the password than changing the extension.
