5.4.7 Change Password
The programming details of a DMR-25 Radio may be protected from unauthorised use by the inclusion of
a password. Setting a password in the radio will mean that the programming information of the radio
cannot be viewed or changed without first entering the correct password.
To change the password, from the main menu activate the Program pull-down menu and select Change
Passwords. The Change Password dialog box will appear as shown in Figure 5-16. Like license strings,
passwords can only be changed if the DMR-25 Programmer is connected to a transciever.
Figure 5-16 Change Password Dialog Box
Enter the old password, followed by the desired new one. If no password is currently set, leave the “Old
Password” field empty. Enter the new password again in the bottom field for verification and click OK.
The Tab key may be used to move between the text boxes. To remove the password from the radio, enter
the old password in the “Old Password” field and leave the “New Password” fields empty.
NOTE
Transceivers are shipped without active passwords and no password is
required for normal operation. Earlier transceivers were shipped with
the default password “1234”. If the DMR-25 prompts for a password
unexpectedly, try “1234”.
If you forget the password for a radio, contact your Westel distributor.
