9.2.2 Changing the Password in a Rack
The method outlined below changes the password directly in the
AutoMax Processor module without making any changes in the
AutoMax Executive software. In order to use this method, the
operating system must already be loaded onto the Processor (see
5.4.3). The Processor does not have to be stopped and the operating
system does not have to be reĆloaded when you use this method to
change the password. In addition, to use this method, you do not
need to know the current password to change it. Follow the steps
below to change the password:
1. Access the DOS prompt.
2. Insert disk 1 of the original or backup disks of the AutoMax
Executive software into drive A:
3. Type A:PWRACK /C=(full pathname to WIN95)\AUTOMAX.INI
For example, A:PWRACK /C=C:\WIN95\AUTOMAX.INI
4. When the system prompts you for the new password, enter the
password you have chosen. You may enter a for the
password. The user will then be required to enter a when
performing online menu operations that require the password.
5. When you are finished and back at the DOS prompt, type
EXIT. Note that you must exit the DOS session after
running PWRACK. Failure to do so may cause problems with
serial communication to the rack.
Note that with the above method for changing the password, the
edited password file resides only in the AutoMax Processor
module(s). The password can not be edited or read from the
Processor module(s).
