Passwords - Honeywell MX9 Reference Manual

Passwords

A password must be configured. If the password is not configured, a new device switches into Administration mode without
prompting for a password. In addition to the hotkey press, a mode switch occurs if inaccurate information has been configured
or if mandatory information is missing in the configuration.
There are several situations that display a password prompt after a password has been configured.
If the configured hotkey is pressed, the password prompt is displayed. In this case the user has 30 seconds to enter a
password. If a valid password is not entered within 30 seconds, the password prompt is dismissed and the device returns to
end-user mode.
All other situations that present the password prompt do not dismiss the prompt -- this is because the other situations result in
invalid end-user operation.
These conditions include:
If inaccurate configuration information is entered by the administrator, i.e., an application is specified that does not
l
exist.
If the application name, which is mandatory for end-user mode, is missing in the configuration.
l
Invalid installation of AppLock (e.g., missing DLLs).
l
Corrupted registry settings.
l
To summarize, if an error occurs that prevents AppLock from switching to user mode, the password will not timeout and
AppLock will wait until the correct password is entered.
