Changing your password

To change either of your Boot Sentry passwords, follow these easy steps:

1.	On the main Boot Sentry screen, click the toolbar button with the key icon on it.
2.	You will be presented with a dialog box asking for the current admin password. If you haven’t changed it yet, the initial password is science
3.	When you get to the password change screen, the first thing you need to is select which password you wish to change from the Change dropdown list in the lower left hand corner. 

The difference between the two passwords is as follows:

The Admin Password is the “master” password for Boot Sentry. It allows you into Command Center, to change your password, your configuration, etc.

The WinLock Password is only used for WinLock. It allows you to let other people use your computer without them being able to change your settings.

4.	Where it says New Password enter what you would like to change your password to and then click OK.
5.	Where is says New Password Again enter the same thing you entered in the first box and then click OK. You should get a message box saying your password was changed.

You may have to repeat the above steps if you get an error message. Boot Sentry passwords must meet the following criteria:

•	Must be at least 6 characters and less then 25 Characters long.
•	Must not be found in Boot Sentry’s Frequently Used Password database.
•	Must not be the same as your old password.

If you make you WinLock and Admin Passwords the same, you will get a confirmation dialog asking you if you’re sure you want to make them the same. It is highly recommended by Science Inc. that you keep the passwords different unless you are the only person who uses your PC.

For your protection, your password is encrypted with 64 bit triple pass encryption.

WARNING
Do not forget your Admin password. Without this password, you will be locked out of Boot Sentry and possibly your own computer.  Science Inc. is not able to recover lost passwords for you.
