Locked folder in Folder access 2.0.0 Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,
I downloaded the free Version of Folder Access 2.0.0 and using it successfully. I locked some folder and while trying to unlock it showed some processing error. I removed that folder by using Remove Button from Folder Access because by using remove feature, it also gets unlocked. However, Problem is continued as these folders are still locked. Otherwise, I am able to lock and unlock folders. I also tried to uninstall the software, but it shows "Erro Password : cmdok : 70 : Permission denied". I have password also. Kindly pls help to retrieve my folder.

Pls help

I have the solution to all of your problems related with Folder Access: program error, os reinstall, lost password, ... The security presented by Folder Access is ridiculously low. Is only as good as if you are 5 or you're just learning how to type on a computer. I don't have much experience on lockup folder programs, but if they operate like this one you are saffer if you just hide the folder. I am serious!! Humans are by nature curious, and seeing a program like this on someone's computer will start our imagination. Anyone with an average knowledge of OS functioning will be able to hack this program in a matter of seconds. Just like the Japanese's philosophy "Helping is , but teaching is even better", I will demonstrate how to unlock your folders and explain it. Lets get starting: Let us imagine we want to protect 2 folder stored in C:\, called FolderA and FolderB. We use Folder Access to lock them. Nice... folders are totally safe :p Let's now make just an experiment: Open shell command or command program or or console whatever it is called on windows and let's take a look ate "C:\" (just type dir on console) This is what we see: C:\>dir The volume is blablabla Serie number is blablabla 02-10-2009 User - 00:01 FolderA.{21EALP20-0003-......0} 02-10-2009 User - 00:01 FolderB.{21EALP20-0003-......1} 01-01-0001 User - 00:01 ProgramFiles 01-01-0001 User - 00:01 Windows This is the awesome and flawless security presented by Folder Access. They just rename your folder and add a kind of extension. xD All we got to do is rename the folders back. Before you can do it, you need to close a process connected to Folder Access. The process is "LckFldService". Hit Ctrl+Alt+Del, go to processes tab, find LckFldService and shut it down. Now, back to the console and type: C:\>ren FolderA.{21EALP20-0003-......0} FolderA C:\>ren FolderB.{21EALP20-0003-......1} FolderB *if you don't want to type all of those caracters just type ren FolderA (hit tab key) And, voila, folders unlocked again xD I hope I was able to help somebody And sorry if I was a little sarcastic

Hi, 

I've got the same problem as Anurag. Cant seem to unlock the locked folder in folder access 2.0.0. I reinstalled the software, but when I tried to add those folders, it doesnt allow because the folders are already locked. Everytime I click on the folder, it directs me to the control panel page. Can anyone help? Thanks so much!

I solved my probem by using Joel's help
Do this:
reinstall folder access 2.0, place a shortcut icon on your desktop. Then drag the locked folders into the shortcut icon...if done correctly...password will be asked again. Fill in the old password, and you can open them now.

-In your PC, go to the the location where your instant lock application is located.Commonly, it will be in your Program Files.

Step 2
Open your instant lock folder.

Step 3
There will be some files,click Remove.exe.

1. Folder Options -> Show Hidden Files and Folders; uncheck Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)

2. Computer -> Volume Information - search for your files hidden in one of the 700 odd strangely named folders
      -*hint* select a bunch and, and check properties for file size. All of these folders are empty except for the 
         one containing your stuff

3. ME or XP - simply open the folder and keep clicking on the contents until you find your stuff, then drag your
           stuff out. If the material is shaded, Right-click the folder, Attributes, uncheck Hidden.

   CANNOT OPEN THE FOLDER??? You probably have Vista - RENAME THE FOLDER. For security reasons Vista 
            will not allow you to open a folder with that strange "i" character. Once renamed you should be able to
            open the folder and perform the above.

Best Wishes!

Hello,

I had the same problem with my folders. I followed all the procedures re-installed it and enter with new password. I dragged the locked folders to the icon and still failed. I ran the folderaccess.exe file from program files folder still no luck. When I dragged the locked file into the icon and it asked for password, and I entered the password either new or old one it showed error "An error occurs while unlocking: \document and settings...\usersname\my document\folder\75 Path/File access error". Anyone who can help I do really appreicate it. All my files inside my folder are completely locked. Thank you.

Hello All,

I just solved the problem. 
First, I reinstalled Folder Access 2.0 from my prevoius 2.0 trail version. It didn't work for me when I followed Anurag from Joel's help. then I downloaded from CNET again and re-installed for the 2nd time. It also asked for the password. I used the same old password, then I opened my locked folders and dragged into the Folder Access icon on my Desktop. It then asked for password. After that there was an error message:
"Error password: Remove Folder: 91: Object variable on with block variable not set" it then prompted
"Folder unlocked successfully"

see below solution from Anurag (thanks so much)

The greatest solution for all  "emergency problems".........is
simply install the  operating system .....  as an addition... on your other drive
This is called as multi-booting system 
which is very easy,very normal & incredibly useful.
It means installing operating system again but on ur other drive
so that in  emergency ,you can simply shift to the other operating system on ur Hard Disk
and can solve the issues OR can so easily & so quickly format the infected Operating System-Drive
