The passwords of ActiveExit

ActiveExit lets you set up two passwords: the Administrator's and the User's ones. (These passwords are used within ActiveExit only, they have no relation to the login passwords that the users enter when they start working with Windows.)

The ActiveExit Administrator's password

If you set up this password, you will be prompted to enter it every time you run the configuration utility of ActiveExit. You will also need to enter it when reinstalling or uninstalling ActiveExit. To set up or erase this password, use the Options command of ActiveExit.

Note that this password is not intended to provide a strong access protection to the ActiveExit configuration utility; it is provided only as the last resort means of security. For a stronger protection, you may want to use the built-in security of Windows XP, or use a specialized software utility such as Folder Guard.

The ActiveExit User's password

If you set up this password, you will be prompted to enter it when required to perform a password-protected action of ActiveExit:

• If you have password-protected buttons on the messages displayed by ActiveExit, you will need to enter the User's password when you press the protected button, otherwise it will have no effect;

• If you have enabled the Ask for the User's Password when the user attempts to exit Windows option, you will need to enter this password in order to be able to proceed with exiting Windows.

To set up the User's Password, click on the appropriate button next to the option that may be protected with this password, or use the button located at the bottom of the Other settings page of the configuration utility. Note that you cannot set up a separate password for each such option: only one User's password can be set up, and the same password will be used for all actions protected with it.

If you forget the password
