Passwords 

VX7 Reference Guide 

E-EQ-VX7RG-H 

A password must be configured. If the password is not configured, a new device switches into 
Administration mode without prompting for a password. In addition to the hotkey press, a mode 
switch occurs if inaccurate information has been configured or if mandatory information is 
missing in the configuration. 

There are several situations that display a password prompt after a password has been configured.  

If the configured hotkey is pressed, the password prompt is displayed. In this case the user has 30 
seconds to enter a password. If a valid password is not entered within 30 seconds, the password 
prompt is dismissed and the device returns to end-user mode. 

All other situations that present the password prompt do not dismiss the prompt -- this is because 
the other situations result in invalid end-user operation.  

These conditions include: 

•  If inaccurate configuration information is entered by the administrator, i.e. an application is 

specified that does not exist. 

•  If the application name, which is mandatory for end-user mode, is missing in the 

configuration. 

•  Invalid installation of AppLock (e.g. missing DLLs). 
•  Corrupted registry settings. 

To summarize, if an error occurs that prevents AppLock from switching to user mode, the 
password will not timeout and AppLock will wait until the correct password is entered.
