PassWord Lock 1.0 ----------------- for the TI-82 ------------- ------------ Directions ------------ PassWord Lock is a password program to protect others from running your programs on your TI-82 calculator. Just insert the code to the beginning of a program that you want to be password locked. The password is currently set to "123456". To make a new password you will need your TI-82 guidebook. Turn to page 13-16. There you will see a diagram of the calcalator. Notice that each key is assigned to a number (except for the on/off button). Now, choose your password and find the six numbers that correspond to those keys. Then change the numbers in the correct section of the program. Do this by hitting [PRGM] then the right arrow, then find the program that you want to lock and hit [ENTER]. Look for this in the program: ... :If C=1 and X(not equal sign)92 :1/->/S :If C=2 and X(not equal sign)93 :1/->/S :If C=3 and X(not equal sign)94 :1/->/S :If C=4 and X(not equal sign)82 :1/->/S :If C=5 and X(not equal sign)83 :1/->/S :If C=6 and X(not equal sign)84 :1/->/S ... Change the numbers 92, 93, 94, 82, 83, 84 (on the end of the lines that begin with "If") to your sequence of numbers. And that's it. Hit [2nd] then hit [MODE] (for quit). Then run your program and make sure your password is working. If it's not make sure you typed it in correctly. ----------------- Hacker-proofing ----------------- Keep in mind, figuring out the password is not very difficult. So to further protect your programs, try changing your numbers to difficult mathematical problems. For example: instead of 92 you could put int (log 1001*30.9) or something. Be creative. Try using things that not many people will know how to solve. In order to really hack-proof your program you will need the graph-link that hooks up to your computer. Use the TI Graph Link software to send the program to your calculator and select the "protected" check box before you send it. Once it's on your calculator, it will not come up in the edit menu under programs and it will not give the Goto option when you hit the on button while the program is running. This will make your password virtually impossible to figure out! ----------- Thank You ----------- Thank you for trying this program and please send us any comments and/or suggestions.
