To import a website connection key:
Open the e-mail message containing the connection key.
1

2
Do one of the following:
3
• If the Import Connection Key dialog box appears, enter your name, your e-mail address, and the password for the
connection key, and then click OK.
• If the Log in to Publishing Server dialog box appears, enter your user name and password, and then click OK.
Note: If you don't know the password, contact the Contribute administrator who sent you the connection key.
If you are prompted for other connection information, such as FTP, type that information, and then click OK.

When the connection is complete, the home page of the website appears in the Contribute browser.
Entering a Contribute startup password
If the Require Contribute startup password option is selected in the Security category of Preferences, Contribute
prompts you for your startup password when you start the program.
A startup password protects unauthorized users from editing or publishing pages and blog entries to your website or
blog. If you do not enter the password when you start Contribute, all web pages and blogs are disabled and cannot
be enabled. You can only browse to web pages or blog entries and create web pages or blog entries. After you enter
the correct password, you can make updates and publish changes or new entries to the connected websites and blogs
until you close Contribute.
In addition to providing secure access, when the Require Contribute Startup password option is selected, Contribute
uses a stronger encryption method when saving your connection information on your computer.
Note: If you receive a connection key that requires a Contribute startup password, you must create a startup password
before you can import that connection.
To enter a Contribute startup password:
1
In the Enter Password dialog box, type the Contribute startup password.
You can enter the password incorrectly only three times before Contribute locks you out. If you are locked out, you
can restart Contribute and reenter the startup password.
If you forget your password, you have to delete all of your website connections and add them again.
2
Click OK.
Note: If you click Skip, you bypass the password prompt and Contribute starts. When you skip the password, you can
only edit or cancel existing drafts for the website. You won't be able to edit pages other than drafts, or publish changes to
drafts until you restart Contribute and enter the correct startup password.
Starting Contribute without a network connection
When you start Contribute, it checks your network connection so that it can connect to your website or blog.
Contribute alerts you if it does not detect a connection.
