* set various password prompts, such as a password for securing access to the BIOS user interface functions itself and preventing malicious users from booting the system from unauthorized peripheral devices.

Dial-up: Postpaid ( 50, 000 ) plus prepaid access cards containing a username and a password which give a set number of surfing hours.

A password is a secret word or string of characters that is used for authentication, to prove identity or gain access to a resource ( example: an access code is a type of password ).

The password should be kept secret from those not allowed access.

Effective access control provisions may force extreme measures on criminals seeking to acquire a password or biometric token.

If an attacker gains access to such an internal password store, all passwords — and so all user accounts — will be compromised.

More secure systems store each password in a cryptographically protected form, so access to the actual password will still be difficult for a snooper who gains internal access to the system, while validation of user access attempts remains possible.

When a user types in a password on such a system, the password handling software runs through a cryptographic hash algorithm, and if the hash value generated from the user's entry matches the hash stored in the password database, the user is permitted access.

If the password is carried as electrical signals on unsecured physical wiring between the user access point and the central system controlling the password database, it is subject to snooping by wiretapping methods.

An augmented system allows a client to prove knowledge of the password to a server, where the server knows only a ( not exactly ) hashed password, and where the unhashed password is required to gain access.

The intended benefit is mainly that a stolen password will be made ineffective if it is reset ; however in many cases, particularly with administrative or " root " accounts, once an attacker has gained access, he can make alterations to the operating system that will allow him future access even after the initial password he used expires.

He also causes several problems for Dreyfus, like usual, but this time by accidentally setting off his security system repeatedly ; special unit officers would break in to detain anyone in the room, and he had the password to call them off.

Additionally, as this will be an interactive site, it will allow health directors to enter a password protected chat room to discuss immediate needs and coordinate efforts for relief regionally, nationally and globally.

Mega Man 2 also introduced the Energy Tank item, special movement items, teleporter room, and password system, which became staples in future titles.

Once in possession of all the password pieces, the player must correctly assemble the password pieces together and use the completed password in the main control room door, where the evil professor is hiding.

For example, when a user logs into a computer that is part of a Windows domain, Active Directory checks the submitted password and determines whether the user is a system administrator or normal user.

A seed syllable ( Sanskrit bija ) is used both as a password that evokes the positive quality and the armour that sustains the quality.

For example there is a password server that will hand out ids in return for a correct login password.

For example, Ken Thompson noted during his 1983 Turing Award lecture that it is possible to add code to the UNIX " login " command that would accept either the intended encrypted password or a particular known password, allowing a back door into the system with the latter password.

Normally, that contains the name and e-mail address of the authorized user and is automatically checked by the server on each reconnect to verify the user's identity, potentially without even entering a password.

If the password is correct, then M releases the transferred sum to B ( 3b ), usually minus a small commission.

In the US this box is usually only attainable if the other letterboxer knows the password or passphrase which is sometimes cryptic, straightforward, almost non-existent, or silly.

At the same time, Riviera is to obtain the password to the Turing lock from Lady 3Jane Marie-France Tessier-Ashpool, an unfrozen daughter clone and the current leader of Tessier-Ashpool SA.

Case ascends to cyberspace to find the icebreaker has succeeded in penetrating its target ; Lady 3Jane is induced to give up her password and the lock is opened.

Authentication by password is less secure than authentication which uses cryptographic protocols.

The easier a password is for the owner to remember generally means it will be easier for an attacker to guess.

However, asking users to remember a password consisting of a " mix of uppercase and lowercase characters " is similar to asking them to remember a sequence of bits: hard to remember, and only a little bit harder to crack ( e. g. only 128 times harder to crack for 7-letter passwords, less if the user simply capitalises one of the letters ).

Similarly typing the password one keyboard row higher is a common trick known to attackers.

In Brown's novel, Skipjack is proposed as the new public-key encryption standard, along with a back door secretly inserted by the NSA (" a few lines of cunning programming ") which would have allowed them to decrypt Skipjack using a secret password and thereby " read the world's email ".

There are also several other methods proposed in, including using a shared secret in addition to the password.

A number of security features exist, including dynamic passwords ( where the password includes part of the date or time, or client IP address, or other dynamic elements ), allow / deny security, a comprehensive inbound and outbound firewall, and an option to require a certain level of encryption in the workstation connection.

American paratroopers also famously used a device known as a " cricket " on D-Day in place of a password system as a temporarily unique method of identification ; one metallic click given by the device in lieu of a password was to be met by two clicks in reply.

* African American Publications ( password required )

In order to be able to pass through the American lines, he was given the challenge response password for the day – " WIL-HEN-HAR " ( an abbreviation of Harrison's name ).

Early reviews praised the game for its plot, gameplay, and difficulty ; later reviews criticized it for that plot being overly outlandish, inconsistent level designs, and the game's difficulty level, in which the North American version was intentionally made harder than the Japanese version through limited continues, stronger enemies, and omission of a password system.

* " William McIntosh ", Encyclopedia of American Indians ; password required.

One of the prisoners was forced to reveal the American challenge and password.

Many of these titles were subsequently ported to cartridge format and released for the NES a year or two later, with saving implemented with password resume or battery-backed memory.

It takes text string samples ( usually from a file, called a wordlist, containing words found in a dictionary ), encrypting it in the same format as the password being examined ( including both the encryption algorithm and key ), and comparing the output to the encrypted string.

A fully specified filename consists of a nodename, a username and password, a device name, directory, filename, file type, and a version number, in the format:

The format of the shadow file is simple, and basically identical to that of the password file, to wit, one line per user, ordered fields on each line, and fields separated by colons.

In order to use a textbook or other learning tool published in the WebCT format, some publishers require the student to purchase a password at the bookstore or to obtain it online.

Now the < tt >/ root /. rhosts </ tt > contains password information, which ( if it even happens to be in the proper format ) is the incantation necessary to allow anyone to use < tt > rlogin </ tt > to log into the computer as the superuser.

* content, format, and security of password and group files

The program's usual format had the host, a local television personality, announce a certain password ( on most stations, " the count and the amount ") to the audience at the beginning of the program and then randomly select a phone number from a bowl or drum ( either from those that had been previously submitted by viewers, or by scraps of paper cut from residential telephone directories ) and call it.

Conversion utilities exist to convert from HTML and PML directly into TEBR, or an intermediary format where final DRM and password can be added by the e-book retailer at the time of purchase.
