Before using the security features, you must first enter an administrator password.

 

The administrator can set up restrictions for individual users along with a user password.

 

Make a careful note of your password. If you forget it, you will have to reset the password stored in the machine. For information about how to reset the password, contact Brother Customer Service from the "Contact Us".
