Setting passwords
The Client UI policy is where you create the password required to unlock the client UI if it appears on a client computer. When this policy is applied to the agent, the password is activated.
Two types of passwords are available:
- An administrator password, which an administrator can configure and is valid as long as the policy is applied to the agent.
- A time-based password, which is automatically generated, applies only to a particular computer, and has an expiration date and time.
For details on using a password to unlock the Client UI, see Unlocking the client interface.
To create an administrator password:
- Click the Advanced Options tab in the Client UI policy.
- Type a password in the Password text box. It must have at least ten characters.
- Retype the password in the Confirm Password text box.
- Click Apply.

When you use the administrator password on the client, always select the Admin Password checkbox.

To create a time-based password:
- Click the Advanced Options tab in the Client UI policy dialog box, and then click Compute Time-Based Password.
The Time-Based Password dialog box appears.
- Enter the date and time when the password expires, and then click Compute Password.
A coded password appears in the Password text box.
