The Change Password  item allows the current user to change the existing password.  To change the existing password, the user will enter the current password (if it exists), and then the new password twice.

 

 

 

Change password dialog

 

 

 

Note:  A user is not required to have a password assigned.  If no password is assigned the user can log on by entering the user name and then press return without entering a password.

 

 

 

You can Log On to or Log Off  of the system at any time.  Upon logging off, the system user has no privileges.  This means the user will be in a view only mode and cannot design or change the system.

 

 

 

Note:  when alarms are acknowledged, the program enters the current user's name as the person who acknowledges the alarm.  If no user is logged in, then the acknowledged person is left blank.

 

 

 

Click on the Log On menu item to log back onto the system.

 

 

 

Password File

 

The Password File  is a binary file containing all the system passwords.  Each password in the system is encrypted and can not be read by the user.
