PASSWORD LOGIN
Figure 1 shows the password dialog box, which is displayed when a software session begins.
Login can be accomplished in two ways.
1. Enter an “All S/N Password” which is a password applicable to all ECMs of a given original
equipment manufacturer (OEM).
2. Enter a “Single S/N Password” and corresponding ECM serial number for a single ECM. A
Single Serial Number password is unique to a specific ECM serial number and permits
authorized service personnel to make changes or view information for a specific ECM.
3. In most instances the top “all” serial number boxes should be used for password entry. In this
case, do not check the single serial number box. Each password is a 16-character alpha-
numeric string specific to each Spectrum customer and determines which pages and variables
are visible through the software. Passwords are assigned by the OEM support group and may
change periodically. Check the “save password” box to automatically retain the password for
future use.
