Without the password, you are unable to access System mode operations and
may be prevented from requesting a download, performing remote diagnostics,
or changing any of the information already stored in memory. The unit can,
however, continue to process transactions in normal mode.
If you change a password but forgot it later on, the user may opt to expire the
user passwords. Expiring user passwords clears out ALL user passwords at the
same time. Consider advising all users before proceeding with this option.
To expire user passwords, access the System mode Security > Password
manager option or contact your local Verifone representative for assistance.
Passwords must be in numeric characters only and must be at least seven digits
and less than 10 digits in length.
