The password protection process is handled through use of the 'Password Protection' menu. After identifying an executable for encapsulation, you may opt to password protect the output file.

To illustrate this, we will once again use Wordpad.

Once 'wordpad.exe' has been selected, we will click 'Protect' and again rename the output file in the 'Basic Settings' menu. The filename 'wordpadtest2.exe' will suffice. We'll leave compression settings alone and select 'Password Protection' from the menu at left. Now we'll type, then re-type the desired password in the given fields. Our password information will be included in the encapsulation process.

We will choose the password 'STRATUS' and re-type it in the 'Verify Password' field. It is possible to 'unmask' the password to make sure we typed it correctly in both instances.

Password Protection is reliant on non-restorable compression and, as such, overrides any previously specified compression settings.

Note: Due to the use of 'Non-Restorable/Max Compression', recovery of password information is not possible. Please take necessary precautions - such as creating a .bak file during the encapsulation process.

Choose 'Lock' to encapsulate the file.

Click the 'Test Executable' button to open the password protected, encapsulated file. A dialogue box will notify you of encryption, prompting for a password. Enter the password and click 'OK'.

Several different styles are available the appearance of the password dialog
Plain
ExeLock
'XP' Style
'Clinic' Style
