Access Code SourceAccess codes are the first line of security in CyberLocks. They must be programmed intoCyberLocks using a Grand Master CyberKey or a CyberLock Programmer. Sometimes calledfamily codes, a CyberKey must present one of the access codes in the lock to open it.In the event a system is destroyed because of a loss of computer equipment or other disaster, asystem may be reconstructed using the same access codes. Without those access codes, it isimpossible to rebuild a system.Manual Password Entry - This option uses manually entered passwords as the source for theaccess codes. Each password must be 6 to 32 characters. Select passwords that will be difficult toguess. Use a word or phrase that is easily remembered. Avoid using personal names, familynames, company names, dates of birth, Social Security Numbers, etc. A good password includes amixture of upper- and lower-case letters, punctuation, and numbers. An often used example is"All4One." This phrase would be easy to remember, yet still involves both upper- and lower-caseletters and numbers.Manually entered passwords should be written down and stored in a secure location. If they arecompromised the security of the CyberLock system is compromised as well.Manually entered passwords enable the system to create and utilize a reset key.Grand Master CyberKey - Grand Master CyberKeys are manufactured with built-in access codes.With trillions of possible codes, these access codes are nearly certain to be unique. When a GrandMaster is used as the source for access codes CyberAudit-Web designates it as the "Base"Grand Master.A "Base" Grand Master should be kept in a secure location when not in use. It may be used torebuild a system if the database is destroyed. If the "Base" Grand Master is lost, it should bedesignated as "lost;" in CyberAudit-Web and replaced with another. This will ensure that no onemay use it to create keys to open the CyberLocks.
