Disabling a Contribute startup password

If the Require Contribute startup password option is selected in the Contribute Preference dialog box, you must enter the correct password to log in to Contribute and edit pages in a website. If you forget or don’t know the Contribute startup password, you can’t use Contribute to edit pages unless you disable the Contribute startup password requirement. Before you can change the startup password preference, you must remove all your existing website connections.

You may have to cancel any unpublished drafts before removing the website connections.

To disable a Contribute startup password:

  1. In Contribute, select Edit > My Connections (Windows) or Contribute > My Connections (Macintosh).
  2. Under Website Name, select a website connection, and then click Remove.
  3. Repeat step 2 until you remove all website connections.
  4. Click Close.
  5. Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Contribute > Preferences (Macintosh).
  6. In the Preferences dialog box, select Security.
  7. Deselect the Require Contribute startup password option.
  8. Click OK.
