ruster:
is it possible to protect any files with passwords on rockbox?

bluebrother:
No.

You can of course use a harddisk encrpytion tool on your pc and use the player as external hard disk for that image. You won't be able accessing the encrypted disk from within Rockbox, unsurprisingly.

ruster:
is there any way to write a program that will be accessible by password and that program contains files (music, games, text ect.)?

You mean as a plugin for Rockbox or what? A locking feature has been requested several times and rejected. It would only provide basic locking / encryption and it completely doesn't make sense on a portable music player with limited ressources, especially not when (ce)crypting on the fly.

If you only want to protect a couple of files you can just put them in a password protected zip archive. But remember that opening files from such an archive will usually create a temporary copy on the local disk ...

ruster:
So if i put them in the zip archive would i still be able to access them on the player?
