Managing Passwords
The system has the following user authorities:
•
ID 1
—normal user: Has full control of the system, but cannot change passwords or enable/
disable password checking.
Default password: 1111
•
ID 2
—administrator: Has full control of the system, and can change both administrator and
user passwords and enable/disable password checking.
Default password: 2222
By default, when you first startup your system, you will be logged in as
ID 2
.
Using the Password Wheel
The system uses a graphical Password Wheel for inputting/changing user IDs and 4-digit, numeric
passwords.
To use the Password Wheel:
• Using the mouse, move the cursor and click from
0~9
. The system will beep as you move the
cursor over each number.
You cannot select the options to the left of the Password Wheel (user ID, password)—you can
only
select the digits. If you make a mistake, simply right-click to exit and re-select the option to
try again.
Enabling and Disabling Passwords
By default, passwords are enabled when you first startup the system. With passwords enabled,
you need to enter your user ID and password whenever you access the system Main Menu, Event
List, or Playback mode.
To enable/disable passwords:
1. Click
to open the Main Menu. If necessary, login using
ID: 2
;
password: 2222
.
2. Click
. The Setup menu opens.
3. Click
Password Enable
and scroll up/down to select
O
to enable passwords, or
X
to disable.
4. To exit, right-click or click
until you return to the main screen.
