The first time you open the Notebook, a password will not be
set. To add a password, go to the Tools menu and select Change
Password. The following dialog will appear.
The space for you to enter your current password will be greyed
out if you have not yet set a password. Simply type your new password
into the two spaces provided. Passwords are not case sensitive.
Once you have added your password, you will be able to protect
any pages you wish at a single click.
Should you decide you no longer need the password (you may live
alone or have complete trust in everyone around you - if so, congratulations),
it can easily be switched off by opening the same dialog you used
to add the password, and simply leaving the new password fields
blank. This will remove the password protection from every protected
page in your notebooks, allowing them to be opened freely by anyone.
As with any password protected data, it is vital that you not
lose the password. Once you have set a password, your protected
pages cannot be opened without it, so you should find a safe place
to store it or take a course in long term memory enhancement techniques.
To password protect a page, select the page you wish to protect
and choose the Password Protect option from either the Notebook
or right click menu. You are then free to express your creative
opinions on your boss and boyfriend, without fear of ever having
to face the consequences.
Removing the password is simply a case of selecting the Remove
Password option from the same menus.
It really is that simple.
The default setting for privacy is to leave the decision to
password protect a page up to you. You can however, change this
setting so that every new page is password protected automatically.
Simply open the Options dialog from the Tools menu and select
Privacy. Do remember though, that if you forget your password,
there is no way to open protected pages.
