-
- ============================================================
- Quick Start
- ============================================================
-
- Three Wizards have been created for ease of installation
- and configuration.
-
- 1. When The Lock is first installed, it will
- automatically run the Security Wizard.
-
- Each option in the Security wizard is presented with a
- detail of what the function does. Follow the prompts
- carefully, reading each item completely. At the completion
- of this portion, the basic system security issues will have
- been covered. When the Finish button is presented, one of
- three things may happen.
-
- a) The system will close the Security Wizard, and
- The Lock will start.
-
- b) The system will log you off then back on if you
- selected to disable CD Auto insert notification.
-
- c) The system will completely restart if you selected
- to view the system BIOS settings.
-
- When the system restarts, it will usually display a
- message such as "Press DEL to enter CMOS" or "Press F2
- for SETUP". Once in CMOS, (BIOS), you will want to
- disable booting from the A: drive, and set a password up
- for access to the system setup. MAKE SURE YOU CONSULT
- YOUR SYSTEM USERS MANUAL BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES TO YOU
- CMOS. THE CMOS SETTINGS CONTROL ALL THE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
- AND AN INCORRECT SETTING MAY CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO FAIL TO BOOT.
-
- Note: if you have elected to change system settings, the
- system will cycle to The Lock for DOS during boot up. At
- this point, you do not have any passwords configured. Simply
- press the enter key to continue.
-
- 2. Once you have run the Security Wizard and the system
- has reverted back to The Lock, The Lock will prompt you to
- change passwords.
-
-
- The first password to be set is the standard USER password.
- There will be a dialog box containing the user name obtained
- from the system. Select a password for this user name and
- press Done to continue. This password will log the user
- into the system at a general user level, but they will not
- have administrator access.
-
- The second password is the administrators password. Since
- this is the initial install, the default password of
- PassWordCrash will be automatically entered into the Old
- password box. Select a new Admin password and enter it into
- the New password dialog entry. Verify the password and press
- the Set Password button to continue. DO NOT FORGET THIS
- PASSWORD, THERE IS NO BACK-DOOR BUILT INTO THE LOCK.
-
- 3. After password configuration, The Lock will
- automatically restart. It is currently configured for one
- user password and one Admin password. When The Lock
- starts up, log into the system using the Admin password.
- Next, right click on the Pad Lock icon in the System Tray
- (next to the clock, opposite the Windows 95 Start Button).
- If there is no Pad Lock icon, The Lock is not running.
- You may start The Lock by pressing the Start Button, selecting
- Programs from the menu, then CrashCourse Software. The Lock
- will be an item on that menu.
-
- Right click on the Pad Lock icon and The Locks user menu
- will appear. Select Options from the menu list, then select
- Configuration. This will bring up the Configuration Utility.
- This utility will have a Wizard button at the lower left
- hand corner. If it does not have the wizard button, press
- the Admin button and log into The Lock using your Admin
- password. Follow the prompts in the Configuration Wizard
- through to its completion.
-
- If you selected to edit User Group Profiles, The Configuration
- Wizard will automatically start the User Profile Utility.
- Follow this Wizard as you have for the previous two.
-
- These three wizards can be used to configure most any
- setting within The Lock.
