TIP: For enhanced security, consider using a misspelled word. This
helps protect against sophisticated hackers who may use a database
of common words (as, for example, in a dictionary attack) to deter-
mine a password. An even better approach is to use a password that
includes some numbers. Making the password as long as possible
(up to the full eight characters) also improves its security.

ning optional GE MDS Remote Access Manager software (see
