Setting your password

By setting a password, you prevent anyone but you from shutting down or uninstalling ZoneAlarm security software, or changing your security settings. Setting a password will not prevent other people from accessing the Internet from your computer.

If your version of ZoneAlarm security software was installed by an administrator with an installation password, that administrator can access all functions.

When you set a password for the first time, be sure to log out before leaving your computer. Otherwise, others can still change your settings.

To set or change a ZoneAlarm security software password:

1. Select Tools | Preferences.
2. Click Set Password.
3. Type your password and password verification in the fields provided.
4. Select Allow others to use programs without a password (unless the program permission is set to "Block") to allow others to use programs you haven’t explicitly blocked, even if they don’t have a password.
5. Click OK.

Once you have set a password, you must log in before you can change settings, shut down the TrueVector security engine, or uninstall ZoneAlarm security software.
