Password Recovery Ways|Tips

The higher value and more popular the device is, the more dangerous it will be. To some extent, the popularity and high value of iPhone result in the possibility of iPhone stolen or lost. When iPhone is stolen or lost, data on iPhone will be used by others casually if they are not protected with any measures.

So is there any ways or tips to protect iPhonewe can do by ourselves? Surely there is, please follow these tips below to keep iPhone data safe.

Tip 1: Create a Complicated Passcode

In iOS 4 and lower version, probably you can only create digital passcode. However, when you are using iOS 4 or supper version, more complicated passcode can be created. For example, alphanumeric password consists of numbers, alpha lower or upper case characters or other characters.

Go to Settings – General – Touch ID & Passcode, and turn off "Simple Passcode". Type in your iPhone existing passcode now and set a new password for iPhone access.

Tip 2: Use Touch ID If Possible

Touch ID is available in iPhone 6 Plus, 6, 5s and iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 3. It is a new and special way to access iPhone with only your fingerprint. If your iPhone is one of these versions, make full use of it. It can bring you more convenient access to iPhone, and get rid of other people using it. Now you just need to create a Touch ID account.

Tip 3: Turn Find My iPhone on

Find My iPhone is free service for iPhone users to locate lost iPhone and can delete all data and settings on this iPhone.

Therefore, before unfortunate things happen, turn on Find My iPhone is necessary in Settings – iCloud with Apple ID.

But this still cannot promise that you can successfully erase iPhone remotely when iPhone is in other people’s hand. Because deleting iPhone data remotely asks for internet connection, and as long as Control Center appearing on lockscreen, another person can disable internet connection.

So when you turn Find My iPhone on, please prevent Control Center from appearing on the top of lockscreen.

Go to Settings – Control Center , Turn off Access on Lock Screen.

Tip 4: Encrypt Backup When Sync iPhone to Computer

Why we have to encrypt backup when sync iPhone to computer?

If we have set iPhone synced to computer, iPhone backup will be created automatically when it is connected to computer. However, if we do not encrypt iPhone backup, anyone can access this computer, and easily use this backup without any difficulties. As a result, your iPhone data can be seen clearly in other people’s iPhone.

And if you don't want it happen, just check "Encrypt iPhone backup" or "Encrypt local backup" box in iTunes before you sync iPhone to computer.

Tip 5: Disable Siri Access from Lockscreen

Even though you have made alphanumeric password, Touch ID and Find My iPhone enable, made Control Center disable, people still can access iPhone lockscreen by Siri.

So please disable Siri access from Lockscreen.

Go to Settings – General – Touch ID and Passcode, type your passcode and click Done. Toggle off Siri under the "Allow Access When Locked" section.

While you're at it, you can also toggle off Passbook access to make sure no one can get to your sensitive information without first unlocking your iPhone.

Tip 6: Don’t Jailbreak your iPhone

Surely jailbreaking iPhone allows you to customize your iPhone in ways not approved by Apple and install apps that have been rejected in the official App Store. But if you want your iPhone to be secure as possible, stay far away from jailbreaking.

Actually, Apple has designed the secure operating system that runs on the iPhone. If there is no accident, no viruses, malware, or other software-based security threats iPhone like PCs and Android phones. The only viruses that have struck iPhones have targeted jailbroken devices. So, for the security of iPhone, don’t jailbreaking.

Even though all these settings cannot protect iPhone from using when it is stolen or lost, they are enough for iPhone users to protect their iPhone.

Even though data transfer between Access and Excel is usual now, errors are still occurring during data import or export. If you have tried to import data into Access from Excel or export data from Access database, believe you can understand it.

Now the following are some errors probably you would encounter during Access data import or export. Hope the solutions can give you a hand when you really meet Access import or export errors.

Error 1: Excel XLS cell data is over maximum limits

Import Error: The wizard is unable to access information in the file '<filename>'. Please check that the file exists and is in correct format.
Export Error: External table is not in the expected format.

This is an error during Access import/export to Excel XLS. Actually, the reason is that the Excel XLS file has cells containing more than 8224 bytes of data.

So, how to correct errors if you still want to import data from excel xls to Access or export data from Access to excel xls?

1. Use the *.xlsx format instead of *.xls.

2. Restrict any memo/long text fields to a length less than 8224 bytes.

3. When exporting, delete the existing .xls file before performing the export using the same file name.

4. Open the .xls file in Excel before performing the import/export from Access.

Error 2: Imported Excel file field is out of range

When I try to import data into a table of Access database, I am getting "Field "F42" Doesn't Exist in Destination Table" error. I have a "client lists" table, and I am trying to add additional records to it.

If you see this error, it is because your excel file field is out of range and the extra fields cannot be imported into Access database table.

Now you would have to give up something, so you can import Excel data into Access successfully. Here are some suggestions for you.

Solution 1: Go to Excel file and hit Ctrl + End to see whether it is much further than you expect. If it is, delete all extra rows and columns, save, and try again.

Solution 2: Name the range in Excel that you wish to import into Access. Then, as you are importing the file into Access, you can elect to import that named range instead of the whole sheet. That should ensure that you are only going to import what you want.

Solution 3: Delete all the extra columns and a lone variable in a distant cell. Then you can import data into Access.

Error 3: Too much rows are in Excel spreadsheet

When you are using Access data import wizard to import data from Excel spreadsheet, you receive this prompting message:

Not all of your data was successfully imported into Access. Errors descriptions with associated row numbers of bad records can be found in the Microsoft Access table <>.

Actually, this is far from unique. When you open ImportErrors table, you would find it is Type Conversion Failure. When Access scans the data in spreadsheet, row value in spreadsheet cannot be confirmed.

Whether we can make row value verified correctly? The answer is surely yes.

Because the value is stored in registry, so it can be easily changed. Then it can be confirmed when import spreadsheet into Access.

Now see how to change the registry key?

1. In Windows desktop computer or laptop, click Start and type regedit in search or Run box. Press Enter to display Registry Editor.

2. In the registry tree, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Software - Microsoft - Office - 15.0* - Access Connectivity Engine - Engines.

Or if your Access is not the latest version, you would not navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Software - Microsoft - Office - 15.0*, it would probably be Office - 14.

correct access data import errors by changing registry key

3. Double-click the Excel node.

4. In the right panel, double-click the TypeGuessRowsentry.

5. Change the value data to be 0.

6. Click OK.

7. Select File -Exit to exit the Registry Editor window.

After setting the registry key to 0, Access will now scan the entire spreadsheet. This registry change works effectively especially when you frequently import huge spreadsheets into Access databases. But not all of spreadsheet row value should be changed. You can obviously set this value to whatever number of rows makes sense for you.

Tips:

When importing data into an MS Access database, sometimes there are errors in the formatting of the data source. When this happens, MS Access will put the offending row into a separate table. In Access 2010, the file is called <name of import file>_ImportErrors. For example, importing try.txt, it would give try_ImportErrors.
