FirePoint starts with a password dialog like the one below. The "Administrator" password gives you full access to FirePoint. As the Administrator you may configure FirePoint by setting user passwords, assigning privilege groups, setting-up preferences, editing pop-up lists and entering records in background files such as vehicle lists, etc.

To enter FirePoint the first time click once on the "Administrator" user name. Then press the "OK" button. There is no Administrator password required until you establish one.

FirePoint passwords are case-sensitive. If FirePoint ever refuses to accept your valid password chances are your caps lock key is depressed. You are therefore entering an incorrect password without knowing it. Release the caps lock key and FirePoint will accept your correctly typed password.

If you are using FirePoint in the demo mode a demo screen will appear to allow you to enter license information. Otherwise, FirePoint will immediately open it's Command Window.
