Software to Password Protect and Lock Folders in Windows

Step 3: Entering a Password

For security reasons, the password must be at least 6 characters long. Both password fields must match, otherwise Folder Password Expert will display an error message. Remember that the password is case sensitive.

Be sure to remember your password as there is no way to recover it once lost. You can use the Hint option. The hint is a phrase that reminds you about your password. Make sure that your hint is not too obvious, allowing others to guess your password or a part of it. Note that hints make your protection weaker because they release some information about your password.
