Changing the Lockdown Override Password at the Template Level

If you are authorized to change passwords, you can change the lockdown password at the template level if needed.

If the file was set to lock down with a password, you must know the existing password or be the administrator
Template mode must be active >>Quick Reference

Procedure

In Template mode, select Engagement | Configure Lockdown.

The Lockdown Override dialog box opens.
Type the password originally entered for this template.
Click OK.

The Configure Lockdown dialog box opens.
In Password, type the new password to use that will unlock the client file that is based on this template.
In Re-enter, type the password again.
Click OK.

Results

The lockdown settings of any file based on the template cannot be changed unless the password is provided.
