Password

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Password

Use this panel to set Thor VM2 user access to control panels and power up password properties.

Important: This password must be entered before performing a Load Factory Defaults.

If entering a power-on or screen saver password does not allow you to disable this password protection or perform a Load Factory Defaults, contact Technical Assistance (page 11-1).

The password and password settings are saved during a warm boot and a restart.

The screensaver password affects the Remote Desktop screensaver only.

After a password is assigned and saved, each time a Settings > Control Panel option is selected, the user will be required to enter the password before the Control Panel will open.

The screensaver password is the same as the power-on password. They are not set independently.

A screensaver password cannot be created without first enabling the “Enable password protection at power-on” checkbox.

The screensaver password is not automatically enabled when the “power-on” checkbox is enabled.

Enter the password in the Password text box, then press Tab and type the password again to confirm it.

Enable the power-on checkbox and, if desired, the screensaver checkbox.

A changed/saved password is in effect immediately.
