This article explains the different Usernames and passwords used with TripLogik systems
In order to better explain and define the different user name and password you you might get across while using TripLogik
We have put together a detailed explanation about them in this article.


There are 3 types of login password used by any user of the TripLogik system 

Instrument Password 

Manager Application Password 

Help Desk Password 



Instrument Replacement Note  
If you are replacing a defective or lost instrument with a brand new one,
the Manager application will ask you for an instrument password.
The default password for new instrument is always it's serial number that is written on the bottom label.


Instrument password 


Instruments can be configured with a password
By default, there is no password already set.


What it is used for ?
The instrument uses this password as a key to encode the data inside the instrument memory to protect your privacy in case it gets lost or stolen. It prevents anyone, with a Manager application on his PC, from reading your data.

Then why is it asking for a password now ?

The instrument password is stored inside the instrument.

You may not remember when you put one in, but if it is asking for a password, it means it was set up by you.

Whenever you add an instrument to the Manager, you need to match the password inside the instrument to be able to read any information from it.

The old Manager 1.2 never asked for it !
In fact, Manager 1.2 had a checkmark to tell it not to ask again . If it was not asking, you had checked the setting.

Manager 2.0 doesn't know what password is in the instrument.  

LOST INSTRUMENT PASSWORD,   I don't remember the password !
If you need a password restore, you need to open a support ticket

Please read more on how to restore your instrument password here 


WARNING

If you decide to change the password instead of restoring it, This will delete all data stored inside the instrument.


Manager 2.0 application User Password

This is the user and password used to open the Manager 2.0 application and is also used to connect the application to the TripLogik Map server



Types of users 
There are 2 levels of user in the Manager

Administrator 
The admin user is the owner of the Triplogik Map account

There is no need to create a local user if you only have one instrument
