Access passwords

uplook has three build-in levels of protection against unauthorised access.

• A password to access the program. It has been applied in order to prevent unauthorised persons running and using the program. If a password has been defined in the setup, when started, uplook displays a dialog box with a password request. If the code entered is incorrect, the program will not be started.
• A password to access a current databaseIt has been applied in order to prevent unauthorised persons opening a database. Such a situation may happen when someone has copied a database to open it using another program, which is not uplook. The program displays a dialog box requesting for a password at each attempt to access a database.
• A code to authorise Agent connection. This code makes it impossible to connect with installed Agents from a level of a program which is not uplook. The code can be set individually for each Agent.

To define or change a password to access the program and/or a database, select Tools Passwords... in the main menu. The screen will display a dialog box for access passwords.

If you want to change a password used to access the program, select the Change field in the Password to access program frame, and then enter the password in the New password and Confirm new password fields. While entering the characters will not be displayed. If you want to delete a password, do not enter anything into the mentioned fields.

If you want to change the access password to a database, select the Change field in the Password to access current database frame and then enter the password in the New password and Confirm new password fields. While entering, the characters will not be displayed. If you want to delete a password, do not enter anything into the mentioned fields. If all the fields remain inactive, any database is opened. Note that the password is set only for a currently opened database.
