To password protect a database |
|
SoftCAT allows you to password protect your database to prevent unwanted users from opening your database.
| 1. | Choose Change Password from the File menu. You see the 'Change Password' window. |
| 2. | If the database already is password protected, specify the current password in the Current password text box. |
| 3. | Type the new password in the New password text box. A password can contain any combination of letters, numerals, spaces, and symbols, and it can be up to 25 characters long. As you type the password, the program displays an asterisk (*) for each character you type. |
| 4. | Retype the new password in the Verify new password text box. |
| 5. | Click OK. |
The next time you open this database you must specify the password.
When you create a password, write it down and keep it in a secure place. If you lose the password, you cannot open or gain access to the password protected database.
To remove the password protection, specify the current password and leave the New password/Verify new password text boxes empty.
To create a guest password, click the Guest button. A "guest" will not be able to add, edit or delete any information in the database.
