Application Summary
The Password Organizer is an application that may be used for storing and
retrieving user names and passwords as well as serial numbers and other
sensitive information. Multiple user accounts can be created and
administrative authority can be granted to those accounts deemed trustworthy.
Once users log into the application, they can only query up the records that
they own.
Logging In for the First Time
When the Password Organizer is run for the first time, the user
may be prompted to log in. The primary administrator's username is
Administrator and the password is
password (just like the administrator
account for Windows). Once the user is logged into the application as
Administrator, the Administrator's password may be changed or other other
administrative and non administrative accounts may be created.
The Create button found on the Log In
screen may be used to create a non-administrative account.
Setup
About Administrative Options
There are several administrative options that may be defined by
the users with administrative authority. If a user has administrative
authority, the Edit Administrative Options screen may be entered
by selecting Administrative Options from the Edit
menu on the Main screen. Once the screen is successfully entered,
the administrator can update the passwords for accounts, delete accounts, change
the database password, or set preferences such as the ability to view the
SQL
statements that are being executed or to enable the auto login feature.
Creating New User Accounts
To create a new user account, select Add New
User from the Edit menu on the Main screen.
If the user creating the account has administrative authority, the new account
can be granted administrative privileges.
Changing the Database Password
By default, the database password is set as markosoft. The
database password must be known to the Password Organizer application in order
for the application to connect to the database. Since the database file (passwords.mdb)
is a Microsoft Access file, the user may change the database password by opening
the passwords.mdb file using the Microsoft Access application and then changing
the password there. If this is done, the database password on the
Administrative Options screen of the Password Organizer should be changed
first so that the database password will be recognized the next time the
application is logged into.
Changing User Passwords
Users may change their passwords at any time by selecting Change Password
from the Edit menu of the Main screen.
Administrators may alter the passwords of any of the users by managing the user
accounts via the Edit Administrative Options screen.
Managing User Accounts
Administrators can delete user accounts or alter the passwords for any of the
user accounts via the Edit Administrative Options screen.
Using Auto-Login
Check the Use Auto Login checkbox and enter a valid User
Name and Password for a user account to enable the
auto-login feature. When auto-login is enabled, no login screen is
presented at the program start up.
Viewing SQL
Check the Show SQL Viewer checkbox to enable a menu option on the Main screen
that will allow the user to see the SQL statement that is executed when
searching for records.

used for the reports.
