Setting an Administrator Password for the Books

Each set of books can have any number of users, including an Administrator. Each user can, and should, have a password. Once a password has been set for a user, they cannot open the books without supplying the appropriate password.

Generally, only the Administrator can add or change passwords for users.

To set the Administrator password:

1. Open the books as the Administrator (i.e. ADMINISTRATOR should be specified in the User field in the NewViews Workstation login table).
   
   
2. Using the Database Explorer in the window on the left, expand the System folder by clicking the +.
   
   
   
   
3. At least one user, Administrator, should be displayed directly beneath the User folder. If no users are displayed, expand the User folder by clicking the +. Click on Administrator.
   
   
   
   
4. Click the Default Options tab at the top of the window on the right.
   
   
   
   
5. Position on the Password field and press <F3>. Enter the password in the Enter Password box, then again in the Verify Password box. When you are done, click <OK>.
   
   
   
   
6. When prompted, click <Set Password>.
