For the vast majority of PC users, the problem of protecting personal information, its confidentiality and transmission is one of the most pressing. This is especially important for those who constantly work on the network and often transmit information via the Internet, and for those who share their PC with other users. In order for you to be calm about saving your information, let's look at how to set a password for a file using the WinRAR program.
It is necessary
To do this, you only need a special encryption program WinRAR
Instructions
Step 1
Come up with a password for the file. This is an important part of encryption, so let's take a closer look at choosing a password. Do not choose names, dates (especially birthdays), simple words for your password. Make your password a bunch of letters and numbers, and keep it long enough. This will make it harder for the cracker to work. Try to keep your password as complex and simple as possible. Simple - for your memorization, difficult - for uninvited guests.
Step 2
If your computer does not have a pre-installed WinRAR archiver, then download it on the Internet and install it on your computer.
Step 3
Select the file on which you want to put a password, right-click on it and select the "Add to archive" option from the menu.
Step 4
A new window will open in front of you. In the required line, enter the name of the archive, and also specify its RAR type.
Step 5
After that, click on the "Advanced" tab, and then on the "Set Password" button.
Step 6
Enter your password. The file is protected and locked.
