you put PASSWORD in a directory other than the main direc-
tory, say MYDIR, then you should type MYDIR/PASS WORD
for the startup.]
Before doing this, you can test how it works, without danger, by
just selecting PASSWORD as an application from ProSel.
The first time you get into PASSWORD it will say “password
accepted’ (because there is none) and ask you to type a password.
REMEMBER WHAT YOU TYPE!!! When you have completed
this you will go right into ProSel. The next time you boot
up - or select PROSELSYSTEM - you will be asked to type the
password. You get three tries. If you type it correctly then you
go into ProSel, otherwise, after the three tries, the computer locks
up and you will have to hit reset to reboot. Passwords are not
case sensitive.
It is easy to change the password. Just hold the open-apple key
down when you type the RETURN at the end of inputting the
current password and the program will prompt for a new one.
You can tell the PASSWORD program to run another program
before going to ProSel by putting the name of such a program in
the “startup” position inside the PASSWORD file. Do this using
BLOCK WARDEN in a similar manner to that described above
for putting a startup in the PROSEL.SYSTEM file.
Don’t expect too much of this “protection”. It will not impede
anyone with even moderate knowledge of the machine. But it
can be useful if you just want some protection from idle pecking
at your keyboard when you are away from your desk for a few
minutes. Note that you can bring up the password screen just by
selecting PROSEL.SYSTEM from the main directory.
