Removing Security
Device security can be completely reset to default status so that others may set an administrator
password and define user access levels.
To remove password protection:
1. Go into Live Mode with the device.
2. Select [Security>Set Password] from the main menu.
3. The Set Password dialog appears, as pictured in figure 61, on the previous page.
4. Type the current password in the [Old Password] field and press E
NTER or Click [OK].
5. Optionally, delete the administrator name and contact info.
6. Leave the [Administrator Password] and [Confirm Password] fields blank.
7. Click [OK].
8. All access restrictions are removed.
Note: Any individual processor block security attributes remain, but they are not
in effect until the device is set to user access level two.
Individual Processor Security
Individual processor security locks out access to specific processor blocks in a preset. You can lock access to
a single block, multiple blocks, or all blocks in a preset. You would use this feature, for example, if you wanted
the end user to be able to change gain settings but not PEQ settings. A locked processor can still be opened to
monitor meter levels or view settings.
While the user access level is device specific, processor block security is preset specific. Moreover, individual
processor security is a separate attribute of each block. For example, you can set the lock attribute on a block,
and when you copy that block, its security attribute is copied with it. This attribute remains whether you are
working in Design Mode or Live Mode.
To lock processor blocks:
1. Go into Live Mode with the device.
2. Verify that the device is set to Security – Level 1.
3. Click to highlight a processor block, or C
TRL+Click to make a multiple selection.
4. Select [Security>Level 2>Lock Selected] from the main menu.
5. A check mark appears beside this menu option to indicate the selected processor is locked.
6. Set the device to user access level two.
Note: You can lock processor blocks when you are in Design Mode, but it will not take
effect until the scene file is stored in a device as a preset, and security on that
device is set to level two.
