Hi mates,
When I first got me PDA2k I was pretty dissapointed that I wasn't able to paste copied passwords into password fields of system applications as well on pocket IE websites.
Just a few days ago I got PDA Universal and was very unhappy to realize I can't do that still.
Is there any hack/fix to help with this problem?
Thank you.
It's is actually not meant to be possible. Copying and pasting a password means that you risk that someone recalls the last entry in your clipboard buffer, and discovers your password.
So Microsoft is again thinking for me. Thanks, but I can clean my buffer with copying couple of spaces afterwards in this case.
Anyone has tried to hack this restriction?
Hey guys can anyone tell me how i can access my desktop files without having to set a password to my username ( i want my pc {win 7 rc} to boot up all the way without any password promt). I dont want to remove my sd card for every little file i want to copy onto my device.
So is there someway we can do this (thru total commander or any similar software)
Yes total commander can access shared files through a network.

i know it can buddy...BUT it requires a username and password ( aka user profile with a password ) on ur pc.. and i DONT want my account to have a password.. need a work around for that..
You can also use resco fileexplorer. It's pretty good and easy to use.

u can set up a password for your home computer, but then ask the computer to do an automatic login, so you dont have to type it everytime you login... you can find this somewhere in the settings, i cant remember where i have to look it up if you are interested..

yes..i also remember this thing..but when it tried it a while ago on vista it didnt work..lemme try it again on 7.. thnx for reminding me
dude you need to have a password otherwise file and print sharing (the thing that lets you share folders) wont work (as far as i know)
whats wrong with a username and password anyway?

again...if ud read my first post..u wouldnt be asking me this question... i want to have logon all the way as i leave my computer on all day... the power faliures suck..so when power is back..its boots up again (torrents etc)
I set up a shared folder on my xp pc - when i access it via resco file explorer map drive, i leave the username and password blank, and uncheck permanent connection in the subsequent page.
It works. I can toss files back and forth.

i did read your first post
automatic login is nothing to do with passwords
just set a password, and then set windows 7 to automatically log in to your account dude
in the run dialog box type in 'control userpasswords2'
it should take you to the user accounts window
there should be a checkbox that says 'users must enter a username and password to use this computer'. uncheck that box so that it is NOT ticked.
then it should ask for your password
type it in so that it saves it and next time it should log in automatically with your password
let me know if that dont work
peace

well thanks..i had found the same procedure on the net after i had confirmed its not my mobile related thing...
You need to set a windows password then use 'control userpasswords2' to make the PC not ask for it when you start the PC up.
Hello All,
I tried to open one excel file, which have password to open, but the Office mobile 6.1 could not open that. Doe sthis mean the Office mobile 6.1 does not support this feature?
Any other way to open such documents in WM?
Thanks.
No, Office Mobile can't open password protected documents.
Open a document in the full-fat app on your workstation, remove password protection, send new document to mobile device.
Not secure, but the only way to go about it.
Thanks all for the reply.
So it is very BAD that MS Office for WM cant open Password protected files .
Is there any other way that we can protect our files in WM?
I think there is one option to encrypt the SD Card where the contect can only be opened in this device and a hard reset also will not allow the device to open the contents.
But is there any other way to have similar kind of password protection for office documents?
Android has an app named "ES File Explorer" that lets you connect to a Windows Homegroup shared folder, and upload or download files. You must have Wi-Fi in your home or office, so the Android can connect to the wireless network. The Android app connects to the shared folder. This process is useful if you lost your USB cable and cannot connect to the local desktop using a cable.
Step 1
Click the "Computer" icon in the Windows "Start" menu. Right-click the folder or drive you want to use to share files with the Android device. Click "Add a network location." A configuration window opens.
Step 2
Click "Next" in the opened window that displays the computer's IP location. Type a username and password for folder access and a name that displays in the list of networks on the Android. Click "Finish" to set up the sharing on Windows.
Step 3
Tap the "Settings" button on your Android device. Tap the "Wireless and Networks" option. Tap "Wi-Fi Settings" and select a Wi-Fi hotspot name to connect. If a password is required, type the password and click "Connect" to connect to the network.
Step 4
Tap the ES File Explorer icon on your Android's home screen. Tap the "LAN" tab to create a new connection. Tap "New" to open a configuration window. Tap "Scan" to automatically scan the list of open networks.
Step 5
Tap the network name you set up earlier on your Windows computer. Type the username and password to access the shared resource. The Android app returns to the main screen. Tap the "Local" tab to see a list of files on the Android.
Step 6
Tap a file you want to transfer. Choose an activity from the list. For instance, tap "Copy" to copy the file to your Windows computer.
Ya can even do this through File Explorer HD(which i use) and ASTRO File Explore.
Be careful when "moving" files with ES file explorer... I moved a nandroid backup, from internal to external with ES, and it deleted it instead... Other users have been having issues if you take a look at their support forum - but nothing's fixed yet.
I think it's only large files that it gets confused with.
I've had pretty good luck with it but have only done copies but not moves.

Why is my entire C drive read/write from my android? Ive set all but one folder on the drive as 'not shared.' ....
Also, since while on the topic, does anyone know how to map the android phone in network map. Its not viewable anywhere on the pc as connected.

I've been unlucky too but learned that in android terminology.
MOVE = Cut + paste
COPY = copy + paste
Always copy when using android.
Awesome tip! I have been using ES File Explorer for some time now and never realized you could access network folders with it. Thanks! :good:
whats a tablet or phones username and password?
I have enough experience with esfile explorer to know how to add computers to the LAN section... so far its been pretty easy to user the computers username and password. In my case, all my computers have the same username and password. But when I try to add another tablet thats on the network (like my wifes) im able to put in the IP address, but I cant figure out what to put as the username and password. Does anyone know how to obtain a username and password from a tablet device to add to ES File Explorers LAN list? Even for a smart phone? And it wont take anonymous. But I know that we don't have usernames or password with out tablets and phones as far as I know, so im at a loss as to know where to start even looking.
You can install an app like Samba
Samba will let you share files on a network from any android device and gives you the option to add a username and password. There may be other better options out there but I've used this with decent success. It seems to have problems with large files sometimes but I'm not sure if that's an issue on the ESFile end or Samba end.

What Exactly Does It Do???
Hey i've done it, used it... and it's great, It is like my android have 500GB of hard disk space when i'm home..
But questions are there... how does this connect to the pc, it's not a part of homegroup it does not show there, even if my libraries are not at sharing, i can still see them in android, in fact i see them no matter what.. I use my PC log in password and user name to connect this, NOT my homegroup password...
What exactly is this?? anyone who knows... plz explain
Edit: Also that i don't have to install any client on my PC, This is a true wireless connection... But i cannot track it from PC, i can copy anything from pc without my pc knowing it.. SCARY
(BTW i'm using windows 8.1 and Xperia P (LT22i, nypon) running 4.1.2 JB, stock.. phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked)
There are several great file managers that can access Samba shares. I use ES and FolderSync. But I would prefer to manage shares somehow centrally so that they can be used in any app on my android device. Does anybody know such a kind of app that creates system wide usable shares?

I've noticed this using fx explorer too. I can log in to my home pc wirelessly using the same username and password and can see a C$ folder (which is my entire pc harddisk) and even though it's not shared at all or on any home group i can access it with my phone!!
Very worrying.
username and password
I cannot get pass the step to add an username and password. Is the password the one I obtained from my homegroup set up? Where do I obtain the username?
Hi Guy's/Gal's,
As you may be familiar with my OLD Windows 8 Hack (Blog + Video), and that really wasn't too hard to figure out (since then the last windows release now actually doesn't fix it but makes it obvious how to do it, making it no longer a real hack... However, I have now figured out another one... This one exploits the security in Windows 8 to view a Folders contents and technically edit/open the contents without ever modifying ANY security settings.
You can read a bit more on my Blog (also has a How to video on the TechMeShow on YouTube) or just watch the Video.
Question is, why do I bother with these specific bypasses or point out what may not be useful to some? As a developer, I.T. Prof., and security expert and someone who gets paid to work in Enterprise, this is alarming and is NOT good for the future of Windows 8. They don't take my calls or emails and this information should be open until it gets fixed, plus they don't pay me but I do have other and worse hacks for Windows 8 but I hope I won't have to publicly release them cause I will have to uninstall Windows 8.
Thanks,
Lance

Dude, you started MMC as Administrator (1:52-1:53)... you didn't bypass anything. :silly:
Since you allowed the program to run as Administrator it can access anything, for example: it also works when you start cmd as admin.
Yeah and in the video the kid gives his other account admin rights. To be secure you don't run as local admin... same in server / client environment. This isn't a hack.
Maybe you should watch from 1:50... No admin command prompt is loaded but say it was for argument sake. You couldn't view or edit the contents via Explorer but Security Template under the same account, it was accessible (couldn't view folder contents or perform any tasks in explorer).
So, if it was an admin account or in the admin user group, it shouldn't have been permitted either way as that's not how folder security is supposed to work or security in general. You have to provide explicit permission to the folder to let a specific user account (even with an account being in the Admin user group) have viewable access or any access, in this examples it plainly shows the flaw in that.

What part of the video was this done? Also they're not strictly local, they're associated with LIVE Accounts and logged in via remote desktop (not that that matters at all). This means, I use my LIVE password and email to login to the machine.

that was painful to watch
I see what your saying about folder access, if it doesn't work as admin in explorer then why should it on via the MMC.
but the simple fact remains, unless you have access to admin, you cant access MMC.
if you have access to admin then there is literally nothing I couldn't do to gain access to the correct folders anyway, that is very simple and ive yet to come across any folder I haven't been able to get in to AS ADMIN
Its not a major fail, a slight glitch at best, but only a fail if you the user allows access to your computer with admin rights.
as to accessing app isolated storage data, yes you could manipulate the app via the XMLs, we've been able to do that for years, theres no difference in that respect then analysing a process, and changing settings, memory calls or even injecting DLLs. So im not sure what the story is here, sorry.

I've watched the complete clip... you're just not getting it.
You logged on with an admin account, you allowed MMC to make changes to the computer by clicking on Yes.
Therefore you can expand the WindowsApps folder and browse.
When you start Windows Explorer, even when you are logged on with an admin account, it still requires your permission before you can change anything (Just like you clicked on Yes for MMC).
I have just created a new local user on my virtual Windows 8 machine without admin rights and opened MMC, it did not ask me to allow the program to make changes.
I then went to the Security Templates stuff like you did, and voila... I can't expand the folder.
It's not a 'hack' or 'flaw', this behavior is completely normal when you start a program as admin.
I've attached some screen shots so you hopefully understand.
Do me a favor then...
Load up a command prompt, but first you'll need to enable the Administrator account which is disabled on the system. To re-enable obviously go in to MMC and add the snap-in for user account management. Once the admin account is active (remember need to set a password).
Now, in the prompt please type:
%windir%\system32\runas.exe /noprofile /user:administrator "explorer.exe C:\"\Program Files"\WindowsApps"
Once you hit enter, the Windows Explorer will be loaded as "Administrator". Are you able to now view the folder contents logged in and under the authenticated Administrative account? No, unfortunately you can't, it requires you to go through the process with the security tab to provide full control. With MMC it bypassed that whole process, even as Admin (literally).
Maybe my point is a little more clear now, I hope? It doesn't matter if you're authenticated as Administrator or given Administrator privilege in MMC. Explorer still prevents you from viewing the folder contents or edit the folder contents.

ok, let me put this another way
get access to that folder without giving yourself any admin rights.
If you do that then its a security risk, if you cant then your just highlighting one of the biggest USER fails of all time, a fail that's so epic that it single handily helps turn 10,000s of computers in to bots and that is running their default desktop account as an admin.

As far as I know you cannot start Explorer anymore as administrator, since Windows 7 (maybe even Vista, but I never used it).
In Windows XP when you started a command prompt as admin and then 'explorer.exe /separate' then the explorer was really started as admin, this is no longer working... gotta be new security that Microsoft is using since Vista/7
As dazza9075 said, do the same without being an admin on your machine and then we'll start to use the words 'LePorte hack'
