Password Configuration

The Password Options dialog allows the User and an Administrator to control access to certain portions of the OmniBook.

If an Administrator Password is set, then modification of the PC Identification Strings or some SCU settings may be restricted by checking the appropriate checkboxes. Note that even if an Administrator Password is required to Save setup changes, the User Password (and its associated options) can still be changed without knowing the Administrator Password.

The Save setup changes option does not apply to changing PC Identification (PCID) Strings.

The ability to change PCID strings can only be restricted by the Save modifications to the PC ID texts checkbox available under Admin Password.

If the User Password is set, then access to the machine may be restricted (at every turn-on, or only at turn-ons after the machine was turned off by pressing FN+OFF). Also, if Undock is checked, a password will be required before the machine can be undocked. Also, the User Password may be required before some changes to the SCU, even if no Administrator Password has been entered.

The following table illustrates which SCU settings are subject to password protection.

As mentioned above, PC Identification can only be password-protected via the Administrator Password PC ID option.

Any time a password is required, the Administrator password (if defined) may be entered, however, only the Administrator password may be (successfully) entered to satisfy the conditions checked in the Administrator Password required to: group box.
