783620H / 1013 5. MENU COMMANDS
5.7.3. Menu Passwords...
This feature of GammaVision (Fig. 213) allows you to protect each of the commands on the menu-bar menus by a password. When a menu item is password protected, that function cannot be used unless the password is entered. Each menu item can have a different password or the passwords can all be the same.
NOTE
There is no master password, and passwords cannot be determined from the system.
If the password is lost, contact ORTEC Customer Service for assistance.
The passwords are not case-sensitive, that is, uppercase and lowercase letters are treated the same. This protection is valid for all instances of GammaVision running on this PC. To prevent the use of passwords, password-protect the Set
Password menu item itself.
If a menu item already has a password, there will be an asterisk (*) to the left its item name. To set, change, or clear the password, click the menu item name to highlight it, then click Password... to open the next dialog.
If there is no password for this item, the
Password for dialog (Fig. 213) will open.
Enter the desired Password and re-enter in the Verification field, then click OK.
To leave this dialog without setting or changing a password, click Cancel.
Fig. 213. Menu Passwords.
If there is a password for the menu item, the Verify Old Password dialog (Fig. 214) will open.
You cannot change a password without knowing the old password. Enter the old password and click OK. If the password just entered is not correct, an error message (Fig. 215) will be displayed. If you do not know the old password, click Cancel to exit without changing the password. If you enter an incorrect password, the Enter New Password dialog (which will be similar to Fig. 213) will open for entry of the new password.
Enter a new password, as described above. To remove the password, leave the box in Fig. 213
blank (not spaces) and click OK.
