Admin password

Enter a password of at least six characters that has a mix of letters and numerals. The background colour provides an indication of password suitability and is initially red to indicate that the password is not sufficient. When a password with reasonable strength has been entered it changes to blue.

Time and Date

Set these correctly as all entries in the activity log are time stamped using them.

Encryption

Arrange this setting according to your security requirements. See Encryption settings for a description of the issues and the settings.
