Password protection allows you to control access to specific drawers. If you assign a password to a drawer, you will need to enter the drawer password whenever you select the drawer for viewing.
Note: To restrict access to a drawer, you must enter a master password.
- Select the drawer to which you want to restrict access.
- Choose File > Drawer Properties to open the Drawer Properties dialog.
- In the Drawer Properties dialog, click the Restrict Access button.
- If your security configuration requires it, enter the master password and click the Continue button to enable the fields in this tab.
- Mark the Deny access to drawer data unless password is known checkbox.
- Enter the password in the Drawer password field and then enter it again in the Verify field.
- Click OK.
- Click OK again to close the Drawer Properties dialog.
Tips
- To remove the password for the open drawer, repeat steps 1 - 3 to return to the Restrict Access dialog and clear the Deny access to drawer data unless password is known checkbox.
- To change the password for the open drawer, repeat the above procedure, entering the new password in step 6.
- If you forget the password for a drawer, use the master password when opening the drawer. DT FileCabinet opens the Drawer Password dialog and prompts you to enter a new password for the drawer.
