Forgot Password
If you forget your password, you can click
on the 'Forgot Password' link that appears
in
the
login
window
when
DT4000
G2_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 G2 will be
formatted. This means that all of your data
will be erased in the process.*
When you click on 'Forgot Password', a
message box (
) will appear and
Figure 10.4
ask if you want to enter a new password
prior to executing the format. At this point,
Figure 10.3 – Forgot Password
you can either 1) click 'OK' to confirm or 2)
click Cancel' to return to the login window.
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 you ever
forget the password.
Figure 10.4 – Prompt Before Formatting
(Note: The hint CANNOT be an exact match
to the DT4000 G2 password.)
