Forgot Password 
 
If you forget your password, you can click 
on the ‘Forgot Password’ link that appears 
in the login window when DT4000_Launcher 
is executed (see 
Figure 10.3
.)   
 
This option will allow you to create a new 
password, but in order to protect the privacy 
of your data, the DT4000 will be formatted.  
This means that all of your data will be 
erased in the process.* 
 
When you do click on ‘Forgot Password’, a 
message box (
Figure 10.4
) will appear and 
ask if you want to enter a new password 
prior to executing the format.  At this point, 
you can either 1) click ‘OK’ to confirm or 2) 
click ‘Cancel’ to return to the login window. 
 
 
Figure 10.3 – Forgot Password 
 
If you opt to continue, you will be prompted 
to create a new complex password and a 
new hint.  The hint is not a mandatory field, 
but it can be useful in providing a clue as to 
what the password is, should the password 
ever be forgotten. 
 
(Note: The hint CANNOT be an exact match 
to the DT4000 password.
