Using the Unlock Feature Parent topic

OfficeScan administrators control security settings of all OfficeScan agents in the network. Depending on administrator-configured settings, specific features may be locked.
The OfficeScan agent unlock feature grants temporary administrative privileges, allowing access to all locked features. Administrators can use this to troubleshoot problems locally, without having to change global/server settings. An administrator's password is required to unlock administrative privileges.
To use the unlock feature, click the Unlock button (icon_lock_locked.jpg) from the main console. Provide the administrator password and then click OK.
The OfficeScan agent will be locked if:
  • The Lock button (icon_lock_unlocked.j.jpg) on the main console is clicked.
  • The main console is closed.
  • The OfficeScan agent has remained unlocked for 10 minutes.
