How do I change passwords on folders?

To change passwords on your protected folders, you need to unprotect folders and then protect them with new passwords. Please follow these steps:

1. Double-click the locked folder in the right pane of Windows Explorer.
2. When the password prompt pops up, enter the password and unprotect the folder.
3. Right-click the folder in the right pane of Windows Explorer and select the Password Protect Folder option from the right-click menu.
4. Enter your new password and a password hint to be able to remind yourself about the password if you forget it. The hint is optional.
5. Click on the Lock Folder button.

That is it. Your folder is protected with your new password. Repeat steps 1-5 for all the folders you want to change passwords on.
