The ENABLE PSWD? parameter protects the manual entry of card information on the terminal keypad. By default, a POS Admin card (shipped with your terminal) must be swiped any time card information is manually entered in order to continue the transaction. Moneris recommends that you change this parameter by setting up an admin password to be entered instead of swiping the POS Admin card. To change this parameter and set up an admin password, follow these steps.
1. Decide on your password:
It must be 5 to 10 numbers.
You cannot use consecutive numbers such as 12345 or 98765, or repeating numbers such as 22233.
You will have 60 seconds to enter it.
2. From the READY screen, press the Admin key twice, key in 22, and press the green key.
3. When SWIPE ADMIN CARD appears, swipe your POS Admin card. The ENABLE PSWD? prompt appears.
4. Select YES by pressing the key. The ENTER NEW 5-10 DIGIT ADMIN PSWD prompt appears.
Note: You have 60 seconds to enter the password.
5. Key in the password you decided on in step 1, and press the green key. The RE-ENTER NEW ADMIN PASSWORD prompt appears.
6. Key in the password again and press the green key. The message ADMIN PASSWORD SET UP SUCCESSFULLY appears briefly on the terminal, followed by the SECURITY menu.
7. To return to the READY screen, press the red key twice.
