- Password is distributed in Packit II compressed form, and when upacked
- (by PACKIT II or III, or UNPACK), you should get Password.Doc (this
- document), Password (The Application version of Password), Password.FKey
- (The FKey version, numbered as 9), and Password.INIT (the INIT version)
- MPW Assembler Source code for all 3 versions is included if you got the
- source version.
-
- Password (the application) is a simple program that should be set as the
- startup application by the finder. When run, Password will present you
- with a window asking you to enter your password. It will not show you
- anything else until you enter the correct password. When you enter the
- correct password, you will exit the program and enter the finder.
- Change STR resource #128 with ResEdit to modify the password. The
- default password is "Password". (No quotes, the capital P is significant)
- Any time an incorrect character is entered, the compare is "reset"
- (silently) and the whole password must be re-entered. If you mess up
- entering the password, just type any character that is NOT in your
- password (return is ok, as return is never part of the password), and
- then type it again.
-
- Password the FKey operates just like application. It may be installed
- into your system file with ResEdit, or with one of the FKey Installers.
- You can renumber it by changing the resource ID with ResEdit, or by
- using the renumber command in the FKey installers. To change the default
- password ("Password", as in the application), you'll need Fedit+. Open
- the FKey before you install it, and look for the word "Password" near
- the beginning of the file. I have left about 30 bytes of space
- available for your password. Just change (overwrite) the old one with
- whatever you want. NOTE that the byte before the "P" in Password is
- the length of the string (in this case it's an 08). You MUST change
- the length byte if you change the length of the password string.
-
- Password the INIT resource should be put in the system folder on the
- disk you boot from. The default password here is "Password" too, and
- you can change it with Fedit+ the same way you change the FKey's.
