Password security allows a manager or supervisor to customize a portable and then hand it off to a worker. A password can contain up to 128 characters and can use any characters available on the portable. Without the password, the worker cannot switch applications or make changes to an application’s title or prompts. The password prompt screen appears after entering the date and time from a reset.

Note: If a password is lost or forgotten, reset the portable and start over with a new password.
