Note<br />

Open the SYSPAR.PAR with NOTEPAD <strong>and</strong> add ‘0’ (zero)<br />

parameter <strong>and</strong> save it. Then again save it as a password<br />

file by giving a different name such as CDS.PAR. Then<br />

delete the ‘0’parameter from the password file.<br />

Tip<br />

Unlike in the DOS version, the password file also should<br />

have the PAR extension.<br />
