Password Maintenance
The use of Passwords is optional in a Single User installation of UniRes and compulsory if you are using a Multi-User version of UniRes12.
To use Passwords, you must have passwords enabled in the System Access program.
The initial User and Password supplied with UniRes is Master and Password.
After adding you own "Super User" with an access level of 7, log out and log back in with your new user name and password - the go to Password Maintenance and Delete the old Master/Password user.
Forgotten all you passwords? Call your support centre . We can fix it for you. Of course, we will require your official written or emailed order.
UniRes recognises a user by their User Name and Password combination. If passwords are enabled, you will be asked for you User Name and Password when you start UniRes. A maximum of three attempts to gain access is permitted.
Passwords are not displayed when typed in the Password Entry window when UniRes starts.
The purpose of using passwords is to restrict access to the programs.
Multi-User UniRes Users are controlled using the Password system. UniRes keeps track of the number of users logged on at any one time. There are some special features available to System Administrators to control the use of UniRes.
User Log-in Name
The user Name is usually someone's first name or any other name. Do not use punctuation marks. The User name is not case sensitive. If possible, give a meaningful name here. You can also use the location of the PC if you wish..eg. SALES. This is a good idea if you are using Multi-User UniRes. It helps the Sysop to identify what PC is logged on.
User Log-in Password
Enter a password of your choice. The password is not displayed when you type it in for security reasons.
Confirm Password
To make sure you typed in the password correctly, re-enter the password. *** will be displayed when you type.
Access Levels
Enter an access level for the user. Try not to restrict access too much. It will prove a nuisance. If a user tries to start a program and their privileges are insufficient, the system supervisor or someone with greater password privileges can enter a use and password and allow them to continue. When they leave the program, their normal privileges will be restored.
