Handle passwords as you would PC passwords.
Without the password, you are unable to access System mode operations and
may be prevented from requesting a download, performing remote diagnostics,
or changing any of the information already stored in memory. The unit can,
however, continue to process transactions in normal mode.
If you change a password but forgot it later on, the user may opt to expire the
user passwords. Expiring user passwords clears out ALL user passwords at the
same time. Consider advising all users before proceeding with this option.
To expire user passwords, access the Security > Password manager option or
contact your local Verifone representative for assistance.
Passwords must be in numeric characters only and must be at least seven digits
and less than 10 digits in length.
To prevent unauthorized use of the System mode menus, the unit OS requires a
system password each time you enter System mode.
When you key in the system password to enter System mode, an asterisk (*)
appears for each character you type. These keys prevent your password from
being seen by an unauthorized person.
Some application program downloads automatically reset the system password.
If your system password no longer works, check if a download has changed your
password.
From manufacturing, each file group uses the default password "166831" and
entered as follows:
1 6 6 8 3 1, and press
Access the submenus by selecting the onscreen panel option. The System mode
screen and submenus are shown below.
The procedures in this section explain how to use each of the System mode menu
options. Each procedure description starts at a main System mode menu. Each
procedure takes you step-by-step through a complete System mode operation in
the following sequence:
1
At the idle System mode screen, select an operation using the navigation
keys.
2
Complete the operation.
