6.2 Setting up and disabling SecureMode
Overview
You can protect the control panel against unauthorized access with a password. You can
also protect the taskbar and the Desktop with the help of the SecureMode.
Function of SecureMode
You set up SecureMode by setting up a password in the control panel. SecureMode is then
automatically activated. The label "secure mode" is displayed in the Windows CE Desktop.
If you now want to use a function on the taskbar or Desktop, you have to enter the password.
When you have entered the password, the label "secure mode" is no longer displayed. All
the functions of the taskbar and Desktop can now be used freely. To reactivate SecureMode,
double-click the
icon on the Desktop. The "secure mode" label is displayed again. The
HMI device is protected again.
Canceling SecureMode
To completely cancel SecureMode, delete the password.
