The following figure shows the open Start menu.
Depending on the software installed, other symbols may be displayed in the desktop's status
bar.
Protection against unauthorized use
You can protect the control panel against unauthorized access by using a password. If the
Control Panel protected with a password, "SecureMode" is automatically enabled.
"SecureMode" additionally protects the taskbar and the Windows CE Desktop.
You can find additional information under Changing password protection (Page 86).
The "Transfer" and "Start" buttons can always be used without having to enter a password.
Password protection prevents maloperation. This increases the security of the system or
equipment because settings for the current project can only be changed after entering the
password.
NOTICE
Loss of data possible
If the password is no longer available, you can only cancel password protection by updating
the operating system. All data on the HMI device will be deleted when you update the
operating system.
Back up the HMI device's data.
