Changing the Administration Password

Follow these steps to modify the administration password:

  • Open the Control Center (as described in Section 1.5).
  • Double-click the Change administration password icon.
  • The Administration password dialog appears.

  • Click OK.

Once running, FDE rarely needs any administrative action. It is logical to assume that the administration password is not used very often and could therefore be easily forgotten. Once you have changed the password, it is recommended to keep a copy of it in a safe place.
