In the first field, type the current password (i.e., “admin,” if not previously changed). The
password will appear as asterisks when typed. In the second field, type the new password.
Passwords are not case-sensitive and must be 4 to 8 alphanumeric characters. In the third field,
type the new password again for verification. Click the OK button to change the password.
E-DataAid’s password is machine dependent. This means that the password is stored on the
machine, not in the data file. Thus, it is possible to use a different password on each machine on
which E-DataAid is installed. A word of caution, however, about multiple passwords. If multiple
Administrators are working on the same machine, all Administrators must share the same
password. Or, if a single Administrator would like to be able to use multiple machines, all
machines must use the same password.
5.3.7.3 Open as Administrator
To open a file as an Administrator, use E-DataAid’s Admin Open command on the File menu
instead of the usual Open command. Before allowing a file to be opened, E-DataAid will prompt
the user for the Administrator’s password.
Type in the password and click the OK button. The application will then allow the selection of a
file to open.
5.3.7.4 Set Security Restrictions
Once a data file has been opened via the Admin Open command, the Administrator can apply or
remove security from the data file using E-DataAid’s File Security command on the File menu.
This command displays the Security dialog.
