The Preferences window should be displayed.

  1. Click the Passwords button. A window appears, requesting that you enter the master password.
  2. Enter the master password. When you type an existing master password, an asterisk (*) appears for each character you type, ensuring others can’t read the password on the computer screen as you type it.
  3. Click OK. The Password Access window appears.
  4. Locate the password in the list on the left side of the window, highlight it, and then click the Delete button. If you want to remove your master password, you must remove all your sub-passwords first. If you chose to remove a sub-password, the password will be removed immediately.

If you chose to remove the master password, an alert message will appear, informing you that all password protection will be removed for this company’s data file when you remove the master password. Click OK; the message All passwords have been deleted will appear.

  1. Click OK.
