Setting a Password

virtual disk is created or deleted. View operations do not require a password.

1 Click the Tools tab, then click Set or Change Password.
Text boxes for the current password, the new password, and new password
confirmation are displayed.

password text boxes.
To change a password:

password text boxes.
