Using and Changing a Password

If you want to restrict access to the TestGen program on your computer, you can set a password that you will need to enter each time you start the program. This prevents unauthorized users from running the program and getting access to testbanks and test files.

Setting a Password

To set up a password, select "Change Password" from the Tools menu. The first time you do this, you see the Password Registration dialog. Type one or more characters in the space provided for your new password. Then re-enter your password to verify it. In case you need it later, also type a hint that will help you remember your password. Then click OK.

Changing a Password

To change an existing password, click the Change It button on the Password Verification dialog shown at program startup or select "Change Password" on the Tools menu. Then, enter your current password, enter your new password, and re-enter your new password along with a hint. The program checks to see if your current password is valid before accepting your new password. Your password is saved with the program and cannot be retrieved in any way once you have entered it.

Deleting a Password

If you set a password, but then decide you do not want to use a password, sign on to TestGen as usual, and then select "Change Password" on the Tools menu. Click the No Password button at the bottom of the password dialog.

Forgotten Password

If you cannot remember your password, even with the hint, click the Forgot It button and write down the code number, contact your publisher for technical support. They will use the code number you provide to retrieve your password.
