Password is copyright 1986 by William Steinberg
All Commercial Rights Reserved
These programs may be freely distributed, as long as:
(1) This document is included and unchanged, and
(2) There is no charge for these programs, and
(2) it's distributed by a non-profit organization. Commercial BBS' may
distribute it as long as they get my permission first. (I grant permission
to CIS, Delphi,and GEnie)
Password is distributed in Packit II compressed form, and when upacked
(by PACKIT II or III, or UNPACK), you should get Password.Doc (this
document), Password (The Application version of Password), Password.FKey
(The FKey version, numbered as 9), and Password.INIT (the INIT version)
MPW Assembler Source code for all 3 versions is included if you got the
source version.
Password (the application) is a simple program that should be set as the
startup application by the finder. When run, Password will present you
with a window asking you to enter your password. It will not show you
anything else until you enter the correct password. When you enter the
correct password, you will exit the program and enter the finder.
Change STR resource #128 with ResEdit to modify the password. The
default password is "Password". (No quotes, the capital P is significant)
Any time an incorrect character is entered, the compare is "reset"
(silently) and the whole password must be re-entered. If you mess up
entering the password, just type any character that is NOT in your
password (return is ok, as return is never part of the password), and
then type it again.
Password the FKey operates just like application. It may be installed
into your system file with ResEdit, or with one of the FKey Installers.
You can renumber it by changing the resource ID with ResEdit, or by
using the renumber command in the FKey installers. To change the default
password ("Password", as in the application), you'll need Fedit+. Open
the FKey before you install it, and look for the word "Password" near
the beginning of the file. I have left about 30 bytes of space
available for your password. Just change (overwrite) the old one with
whatever you want. NOTE that the byte before the "P" in Password is
the length of the string (in this case it's an 08). You MUST change
the length byte if you change the length of the password string.
Password the INIT resource should be put in the system folder on the
disk you boot from. The default password here is "Password" too, and
you can change it with Fedit+ the same way you change the FKey's.
