Creating Passwords
The type of passwords you create will depend on which time clock interface has been chosen, review the TimeClock Interface Options article for more information. Follow these steps to create a password for a user, manager or administrator:

1. Select Turn Administration On from the File menu.
2. Choose Users from the Configure program menu and select a User's name.
3. Within the Access tab, select Create under the Password section.
4. Assign a new PIN or password and click Save to apply changes.

By default, passwords are required to use the In & Out Board interface, which means if you do not assign user passwords, all users will be required to create a password the first time they use the time clock. When the PIN or Passcode interface is selected, an administrator must manually create PINs or passcodes before users can access the time clock.

Note: To modify or delete a password, see Modifying and Deleting Passwords.
