How to Create a Password Protected Folder Without Software and How to Hack it!

Securing Confidential Data is a basic requirement of everyone. This can also be done through available Softwares on Internet. Now i will share a method to Lock folders Without using any Software. This Trick will work in windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.

Why to Use this Method?

• If you are afraid of getting Viruses through Softwares(This Technique is completely Safe).

• If you are using PC of someone else and want to do some prank and not having enough time to download and install Softwares.

• If for some reason you are not able to Install Softwares on PC.

How to do it?

• Open Notepad( Start->Run->Notepad)

• Copy the Code below and Paste it into Notepad. 

cls :End @ECHO OFF title Folder Locker if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER :CONFIRM echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N) set/p "cho=>" if %cho%==Y goto LOCK if %cho%==y goto LOCK if %cho%==n goto END if %cho%==N goto END echo Invalid choice. goto CONFIRM :LOCK ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" echo Folder locked goto End :UNLOCK echo Enter password to Unlock folder set/p "pass=>" if NOT %pass%==mixworld goto FAIL attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker echo Folder Unlocked successfully goto End :FAIL echo Invalid password goto end :MDLOCKER md Locker echo Locker created successfully goto End

• Password for the above batch file is set to mixworld. You can change it to anything by editing mixworld to your choice in following line:

if NOT %pass%==mixworld goto FAIL

• Now Save this file with a name anyname.bat(here .bat is the extension). I am choosing mixworld.bat as my file name in this tutorial.

• Now a Bat file is created.

• Now double click on bat file and it will ask you for password and Enter Password(for the above code it ismixworld).

• Now you will see a folder named LOCKER in the same location where you saved anyname.bat(mixworld.bathere) file.

• Open it and fill it with the data you wanna hide.

• When you are done with the above press Y in the bat file and hit Enter.

• Now Close this Bat file window and locker folder will hide itself.

• Again to Edit Locker Folder double click mixworld.bat file and enter password.

You can do it as many times as you want. :)
