To secure the device with a password, you need to go to the Tool menu and select the Device password option.
After entering the password, the device will be secured, and this will be visible on the status bar in the form of a padlock.
Upon restarting the device, to connect to it, you need to enter the password. Entering the correct password will unlock the device, and it will remain in this state until it is restarted again.
The client software remembers the password during runtime, so subsequent turning on/off of the device will not require re-entering the password.
When the device is password protection the Quick save during Make permanent process is disabled.
During connection to the encrypted device, there are 4 options to choose from:
- Quit - exit the program
- Enter password - enter the password.
- Load package - allows loading an encrypted package with settings. If the password with which it was saved is identical to the password in the ECU, firmware, and calibration, it will be saved on the device. This allows sending clients new calibration versions without revealing their contents. This function is not yet available.
- Restore to default - restores the device to factory settings. It removes all data and the password.
