I will be using the X-Plore app (Download Direct Here - 2.7mb)for this article since it has proven to be the fastest and most robust file explorer with a good text editor. (For PC users, Click Here to see how to use XYPlorer to recover hidden files from infected flash and memory card). After downloading the openVPN server configuration file along with the password text file, extract to one folder and use the import button to import to the openvpn.
· Open Xplore and locate the folder containing the server (the server is the one with the ending .opvn) you will see another file with the extension (ending with .txt).
· Tap on that text file, it will open and you should see just two things -
· vpnbook (This is the username, don’t touch)
· speE4reje (On the second line, this is the password side that you will edit)
· Notice that when you tap on the two words, the keyboard will not come up, this is because the file is in read-only mode, so you look for an icon (like a book and pencil) at the top right corner and tap on it (that is the editor)
· Once the editor mode is activated, you can now tap on the password side (the second line) and use backspace to delete it and type any new password that will be updated weekly.
Remember to save after typing.
Note that the password are case sensitive, that is to say tHeBoy is not the same as TheBoy so type exactly as you see.
This small but powerful tool can also be used to edit or create any text file without having to install another app, X-Plore works just like the Windows experience.
