The name of the security file is DSSW2.TPS and it is located in the medialibrary folder on drive C:, assuming the default installation was not changed.
There is a copy of the default security file in the medialibrary folder named DSSW2.BAK.
In the event everyone in the ministry forgets there login or password one of the ways to get around the problem is to revert to the evaluation default. This is the easiest way to overcome not knowing the password.
| 1. | Make sure MLM is closed. (You can not make any changes to an open file.) |
| 2. | Click the Start button on the Windows Task bar. |
Select and click the My Computer selection
Clicking My Computer will open the following window. Your computer is not like ours so you will see different drives and drive names. But you will have a C drive and if the default installation was used the medialibrary folder will be on C drive. If you selected a different drive substitute C with your drive letter.
Select drive C and double click it to see the files contents.
Select the medialibrary folder
Find and select the medialibrary folder. Now double click the folder to see its contents.
Delete the old security file
When you delete the file Windows will save it in the recycle bin. This will allow you to undelete the file if you need to. Because we know the deleted file is wrong we will not be using the undelete feature.
Hight the backup file name, right click and select copy.
Right clicking a file name, or folder, and selecting copy puts the name in the Windows clip board. You can now use this name without being concerned with typing the exact name.
After right clicking in any white space click paste.
Click any where in the windows file list and right click again. This time select paste. The contents of the Windows clipboard will be added to the file list.
Copy of dssw2.bak
Because Windows knows that the contents of the clipboard is a file, it will automatically rename the new file "Copy of dssw2.bak. The reason is that there can not be more than one file, or folder with the same name.
Rename dssw2.bak to dssw2.tps
Rename the file "Copy of dssw2.bak" to the correct name of "dssw2.tps". The default security file will now be used by MLM when the program starts. The default user is Demo so you will not see the login and password dialog window at all. To use the security feature you will have to start over by creating a new user, login as that user and deleting the Demo user.
