Algorithmic Password

Does anyone know if it would be possible to create a password protection program that locked a folder (or the files in it) using a password based on an algorithm? I want to have a password that changes based on system time, and a variable. If anyone knows how to do this, possibly with c++ or anything else...please post or email me at soc5298*yahoo.com. Thanks

Welcome to our forums, soc. I recommend you don't post your email address naked like that becuase spambots love to surf forums and find anything with an "@" to add to their lists.

There are quite a few programs that do such, a well-worded seearch-engine query should provide some links for you.

Any chance you could tell me where one of these sites is? I have searched all over the place...and thanks for the tip, won't do that no more.
 
There is a program that will do that for you but I cannot remember what its called you will just have to search google and play around with your search words...I think its called something like (Bitfile) but I am not sure!
 
But I want something that changes with the system time...for example...
something like...
([absolute value(ST(day)-4ST(hr)] / [AV(-1-2ST(min)]) * variable dependant on second value in the system time...that will give me a number something like...288204 or 181348, dependant on when it is, which I want to tag onto the front of a static password.

final password to access forlder should be like...

181348static
 
yea...the only thing about having it in a compressed folder though is that you have to protect it AFTER the files are moved. otherwise new files moved wont be included. just a thought though. good luck
