How password protection works in Guard Dog

Whenever you start Windows, Internet Guard Dog prompts you to enter the
password you set during the Interview. When you enter an incorrect
password, it displays the hint that you provided when you created your
password.
Without the password you can still open the Guard Dog Home screen, but you
won't be able to change your CheckUp Settings or Protections Settings. Also,
Internet Guard Dog won't let you use the Password Manager information in
Browser Buddy or send out information protected by Identity Protector.

Using the Internet Guard Dog Home screen

After the interview ends, Internet Guard Dog displays its Home screen
(Figure 3-2).

WARNING: Do not forget your password. If you do, you're only option
is to reinstall Internet Guard Dog and start all over. You will lose your
previous Internet Guard Dog settings, Password Manager information
and won't be able to use any of your encrypted files.
