The first step toward performing a local password reset is to launch the password reset dialog shown below.
The left tab on this dialog identifies the administrator contact and group association for the subject SafeHouse volume. This information is especially important if you have multiple SafeHouse branding groups and you need to know which group this specific volume belongs too.
This dialog may be launched from either of two locations. Use whichever method is most convenient.
Launch from:
View or Change Volume Properties Dialog
Change Volume Password Dialog
To launch the password reset dialog from the View or Change
Volume Properties dialog, select this button from the SafeHouse system
tray utility Tools tab, and then in the resulting dialog, select the volume
file which needs to have its password reset and click the Reset Password
button.
NOTE: If the Reset Password button is disabled, that means that the selected SafeHouse volume was not created with the password reset feature enabled. Once a volume is created, its ability to support password resets cannot be changed. As such, it is important to plan ahead when creating new volumes if this feature is important to you.
To launch the password reset dialog from the Change Password
