Simple password protect help

[backwards15]

Hi all,

I'm just creating a simple compact dot net 1.1 app to execute warm/
cold boot commands. Very simple app that just calls Win32API to run
the device reset.

However like all applications this is open for abuse and missuse from
end users. I was wondering if there was an easy way to have like an
input box (or something along those lines) to start on
application.startup that accepts a password or something as i dont
want to be cold booting PPC 2003 units everyday by mistake.

This would be even better if this password was based around the
datetime so if would change everyday.

Thanks in advance.

Andy

Just in case anyone looks at this for something they want to do. I
have worked out something that using the date and square rooting it
returning a string of the 1st 4 numbers before the decimal point. This
was then passed as my password.

Have a look at this topic as it has my sample code in it
