Passwords
A password must be configured. If the password is not configured, a new device switches into Administration mode without
prompting for a password. In addition to the hotkey press, a mode switch occurs if inaccurate information has been configured
or if mandatory information is missing in the configuration.
There are several situations that display a password prompt after a password has been configured.
If the configured hotkey is pressed, the password prompt is displayed. In this case the user has 30 seconds to enter a
password. If a valid password is not entered within 30 seconds, the password prompt is dismissed and the device returns to
end-user mode.
All other situations that present the password prompt do not dismiss the prompt -- this is because the other situations result in
invalid end-user operation.
These conditions include:
l
If inaccurate configuration information is entered by the administrator, i.e. an application is specified that does not exist.
l
If the application name, which is mandatory for end-user mode, is missing in the configuration.
l
Invalid installation of AppLock (e.g. missing DLLs).
l
Corrupted registry settings.
To summarize, if an error occurs that prevents AppLock from switching to user mode, the password will not timeout and
AppLock will wait until the correct password is entered.

End-User Switching Technique
Note: The touch screen must be enabled.
A checkmark indicates applications currently active or available for Launching by the user. When Keyboard is selected, the
VX3Plus default input method (Input Panel, Transcriber, or custom input method) is activated.
The check to the left of the application name indicates that the application is active.
If the application is listed but does not have a checkmark to the left of the application name, this means the application is
configured in AppLock and can be manually launched by clicking on the application name in the list.
Using a Stylus Tap
When the mobile device enters end-user mode, a Switchpad icon (it looks like three tiny windows one above the other) is
displayed in the lower right corner of the display. The Switchpad is always visible on top of the application in focus. However, if
only one application is configured in AppLock and the Input Panel is disabled the Switchpad is not visible.
