  4. In the Staff ID field, enter your sign-in ID.
  5. If necessary, enter your password in the Password field.
    note
    • You need to enter a password only if your database is safe. To secure the database, your firm administrator must mark the
      Enable Firm Security
      checkbox in the Firm screen.
    • If you want the application to remember your sign-in ID and password so that you don't have to enter them each time you open Practice CS, mark the
      Remember login information
      checkbox. The
      Remember login information
      checkbox is available only if your firm administrator has marked the
      Allow Users to Remember Logins
      checkbox in the Firm screen.
    • When you want to change your password, select the
      Change password
      button.

    OK
    to open the firm database.
