Getting Started
The rest of this chapter explains the steps you take to begin using
your ID Works identification software.
Logging In to an ID Works Application
To begin using ID Works software, double-click the ID Works
Designer shortcut icon on your desktop.
In the User Login dialog box, type your User Name and User
Password, and then click the Log in button.
The default User Name and User Password are Admin and Admin. If
you have not already done so, change the password for the default
user account and create a user account with System Administrator
privileges for yourself. See “Changing the Admin User Name
Password” on page 148 for more information.
When you are logged in to an ID Works application, you do not need
to supply your user name and password again to start another ID
Works application.
Changing Your User Password
Each time you log in to an ID Works application you have the
opportunity to change your user password. To change your
password, click the Change Password button any time before
completing the login. The Login and Change Password dialog box
opens, where you must supply your user name, current password,
and a new password. You will also need to type the new password a
second time for verification. Then click the Log in button to complete
the change and log in to the ID Works application.
Passwords can be 1 to 10 characters long and can include any
character you can type from the keyboard. Passwords are not case
