To ensure that the contents of your device fields are protected from prying eyes, the data is encrypted. As an additional security measure, you can have the program ask you for a password when it is run. This limits access to the program to those who you trust with the password.
The password you provide is used to encrypt the device fields. This means that if you forget the password, you can not use the program, and you will be unable to access the device data. If you send your database to cattools_support@kiwisyslog.com we can try to recover the password for you.
When the standard mode program is password protected, it will prompt you for the password on startup. The Service prompts for the password whenever the user interface is made visible on the console.
Resetting the password back to a blank value will stop the program from prompting you for a password. Even with no password set, the device database is still securely encrypted.
Changing the password:
Clicking on this menu option will pop up a normal change password box, with three fields:
1. Existing password:
2. New password:
3. Confirm new password:
Enter the existing password (blank initially), then enter the new password twice.
To reset the password back to nothing, use a blank value for the new and confirm password fields.
