Change Password

This option allows you to add, delete, or change your password.  This is done in the Welcome to the TenKey Tutor log in screen.  Navigate there by simply choosing Change Password from the Options menu at any time while using TenKey Tutor, and then follow the steps below.  

 

  1. Your student ID and password should be appearing as you entered them when you logged in.  Enter your new password.  (Or delete it if you want to not have one.)

  2. When you press [Enter], or click OK, a confirmation text box will appear.

  3. Enter the new password here again (or leave it blank if you want to not have one) to confirm it has been entered as intended.

  4. Press [Enter], or click OK, to complete the change, or select Cancel if you change your mind..

  5. If the passwords do not match, you will need to enter the original and confirming passwords again.

 

When closing TenKey Tutor, user records are usually saved automatically.  However, if you see a message asking if you want to save changes, be sure to answer "Yes" to save this new setting.

 

 

Blank Password

 

Deleting your password actually changes your password to a blank, but eliminates the need to enter a password at login.  The next time you open TenKey Tutor, you will see the login screen only temporarily during the open process.  Don't blink - you may miss it.  It will not be necessary (or even possible) to enter your name or password until you decide to change your password from a blank to a non-blank password by using Options / Change Password again.  

 

A blank password is the same as having no password protection at all.  Anyone will be able to access your records, add sessions of their own, and print your reports. So if you want your records protected, enter a password at least one character long that you can remember.   There is no limit to how long it can be or what is in it.
