3.3 Setting an ADMIN password

The LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior supports up to 16 user profiles. The administrator of the system can grant or deny users access to any of the connected computers and has complete control over the setup of the system. The administrator accesses the system via a special user named ADMIN. This profile may not be altered or deleted from the system and has full access rights to all computers and system parameters. Consequently it is advisable to set a password for this user.

To set a password for the ADMIN user:

From the main on-screen menu press F1 for MORE MENUS.

Select EDIT USER LIST from the menu.

Move the menu bar over the ADMIN user.

Press RETURN or ENTER to edit the ADMIN user.

Press RETURN or ENTER again to edit the ADMIN user's password.

Make sure that the password you want is displayed.

Press RETURN or ENTER to save the password.

You will now see the "Edit Access Rights" menu. The ADMIN user always has access to all the computers. Press RETURN or ENTER again to quit from this menu.
