Chapter 4 Secure the Terminal
4. Click OK.
Clear Terminal Password You must know the current password of the terminal to clear it.
Follow these steps to clear the password from the terminal.
1. From the terminal toolbar, click Secure, then click Clear Password.
2. Enter the current password in the Password field.
3. Click OK.
Secure Design Environment The secure design environment lets you restrict user access to screens in an
application and protect the application from unauthorized updates. By
default, all users have unrestricted access to the application. This means that
any user can access and change the application. They can also access any
application screens on the terminal at runtime.
Use the secure design environment to:
• Limit users who have access to the system by configuring user accounts
and passwords. The default users (All Users*) do not require a password.
• Create access rights for screens in the application.
• Assign these access rights to users on a need basis. Only users with a
need to access a screen should hold access rights to the screen.
• Protect the application from updates by restricting user access to design
mode. Only users with design rights are allowed to access and update an
application. Initially, all users have design rights to an application.
IMPORTANT If you forget the terminal password, there is no way to recover it. You
can perform the restore terminal operation, or return the terminal to
the out-of-box configuration. Doing so clears the password and also
remove all applications, logs, recipes, user-installed font files, objects,
and graphics. See Returning to the Out-of-box Condition
on page 113
and Restoring the Terminal
on page 114 for more information.
Alternatively, you can update the terminal firmware to the same or later
firmware revision. Doing so clears the password and other settings, but
your applications, recipes, and fonts are retained. See Update Firmware
on page 117 for more information.
