User Manual
NEO
There are three types of passwords you can set for NEO.
• Master password: This password is required when you change certain
settings (for example, when you turn Calculator or Spell Check on or off).
The master password also allows you to create individual file passwords.
You can obtain a master password from Technical Support, but it's easier—
and more secure—to specify your own using AlphaSmart Manager (see
page 115).
• File passwords for AlphaWord Plus files: If you enable password
protection as described in the next section, you need a password to open
each file. The default password is write or the new default password you
chose in AlphaSmart Manager (see page 117). You can set unique
passwords for each AlphaWord Plus file on the NEO (see page 77). File
passwords are useful when more than one person is using the same NEO or
when the contents of your files are confidential.
• Send list password: This password is used in AlphaSmart Manager. It
lets you set a password so that no one can send anything—files,
SmartApplets, or settings—from AlphaSmart Manager to any connected
NEO(s) without first typing the send list password. See "Setting or
Changing the Send List Password" on page 116.
Note: NEO's password system is meant to protect against accidental or
mischievous data loss and to provide a minimum level of data privacy. It
cannot prevent concerted, malicious efforts at data destruction.
