    Restrict Access
    dialog and clear the
    Deny access to drawer data unless password is known
    checkbox.
  • To change the password for the open drawer, repeat the above procedure, entering the new password in step 6.
  • If you forget the password for a drawer, use the master password when opening the drawer. FileCabinet CS opens the
