Create a Password Protected Folder in Few Steps without any Software or Programming Skills

Hey Guys! Welcome to the new tutorial. In this , you will learn to create a password protected software without any software. Most of us, think that it is impossible to create such a folder but the truth is that it is very easy to do so. Read on to know how to create it.

Lets get started..

Process:

Step 1: Make a new folder (with any name as your wish).

Inside that  folder make a  Text  file( with .txt extension ) & copy inside it copy the entire code given below:

Quote:

Quote: cls

@ECHO OFF

title Folder Private

if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK

if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER

:CONFIRM

echo Are you sure you 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 Private "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%== password here goto FAIL

attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"

ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Private

echo Folder Unlocked successfully

goto End

:FAIL

echo Invalid password

goto end

:MDLOCKER

md Private

echo Private created successfully

goto End

:End

After you have copied the above code into text file, go to line 23  and keep the desired password instead of that bold word (i.e. password here). 

For example: if NOT %pass%== technowing goto FAIL

/* In this case your password becomes = technowing */

Step 2: After that, click on File > Save As and name it as 'locker.bat'.

This is our locker file. Remember the file extension should be '.bat' . Make sure you have selected "All Files" in 'Save as type'.

Now close the text file and return into the folder that you had created earlier. You can see a batch file named locker. 

Step 3: Click on it. It will prompt you to enter a password. After you enter password, a folder name Private will appear.

This is the secret folder where you can keep your important data and files. Now save all your important files in this Private folder.

Step 4: After that when you need to lock that folder, again click on that locker.bat file. It will prompt you to ask whether you want to lock or not.

Now enter 'y' or 'Y' the folder will be locked and invisible. 

  

If you again want to gain access to that folder click on that locker.bat file and type the password. Again to lock the folder same  as previous can be done.

In case if delete the locker.bat file, then you can again create a new file as created above but remember that the password should be same.In order to avoid such circumstances, you can save locker.bat in several locations for future reference.

Note: If you forget the password, you can still check it by: Right Click and Select Edit Option.
