1. Decide if you want to pay for a software package to provide this security on the external hard drive. There are free software downloads and pay downloads. The pay versions may offer more security but if money is tight, you may want to choose the free version.



2. Connect the external hard drive to your computer.



3. Download the password protection software to the external hard drive. Follow the onscreen instructions to install the software. See the resources section for more information.



4. Choose a password to protect the external hard drive. You want to choose a password that is easy to remember but not so common that others will guess the password and gain access to the external hard drive.



5. Follow the user instructions of the downloaded software to password protect the external hard drive.



6. Test the external hard drive security by connecting the drive to another computer and try to access the drive. If successful, it will ask you for the password established in Step 4.

Want to know bangaimana secure the contents of the flash so as not to be read by others?



The easiest way is to use a password. So, if there is someone who input the wrong password, then what happens the computer will shutdown automatically.



Here's how to safeguard the contents of the flash with a Password:



Open the Notepad application, how can the Start-> All Programs-> Accessories-> Notepad or go to RUN type in Notepad and Enter.



Copy and paste the following script in Notepad.

on error goto 0

dim s, quest, sd, m, winpath, fs

set sd = CreateObject ("Wscript.shell")

set fs = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

set winpath = fs.getspecialfolder (0)

set s = wscript.createobject ("wscript.shell")

do while loop quest = ""

quest = InputBox ("Enter a PASSWORD, if you are wrong in entering the password, the computer will shutdown automatically.", "http://beritanet.com")

if quest = "" then

m = MsgBox ("Sorry you do not have the password ...!", 0 0 48, "http://beritanet.com")

end if

loop

if quest = "Enter password" then

s.run "shutdown-a"

sd.run winpath & "explorer.exe / e, / select," & Wscript.ScriptFullname

else

s.run "shutdown-s-t 0"

end if



Write your password in the "Write password", and be careful with case sensitivity.

Save the file by selecting the type of all files, name the "passwordfd.vbs" (without the quotes)



Once completed, to automatic settings after the flash inserted in a PC, open a new Notepad again, and copy and paste the following script:

[Autorun]

shellexecute = wscript.exe passwordlock.vbs

action = flash was used passwords



In the script above action can be changed according to your wishes

Save the file by selecting the type of all files, give the name "autorun.inf" (without the quotes)



Then move both the autorun.inf file and passwordfd.vbs to your flash.



The final step, hide and passwordfd.vbs autorun.inf file by right clicking on each passwordfd.vbs autorun.inf and then select Properties check box on the sign hidden. Done.

Encrypt Entire Flash Drive

1

Download and install the freeware program "Cryptainer LE" onto your PC or laptop. Enter a meaningful password from 8 to 100 characters and define the file location and size, which you can change at a later time. Enter your password when prompted.

2

Install Cryptainer Mobile when the Cryptainer LE installation is complete. Select "Tools" on the menu bar at the top of your screen. Select "Install Cryptainer Mobile" and follow the prompts. The Mobile version comes with the LE download.

3

Close the LE version on your desktop. Select a location and meaningful password for the Mobile version. To protect important files and folders, drag and drop them into the vault, the location of the encrypted files.

You need to buy a memory stick with that feature. Otherwise store everything on the memory stick as an encrypted ZIP file.
