Password Override lets you specify a password that overrides the device’s currently applied security policies. All policies revert to the Endpoint Security Agent’s default policies.
You should not distribute the password to users. Instead, you should use the Override Password Key Generator utility to generate a temporary password key (based on the override password) for a user who needs to override security policies. The password key functions the same as the override password with the added benefit that you can specify when the key expires.
Select one of the following options:
Yes: Enables an override password. To specify the password, click Change, enter and confirm the password, then click OK to save it.
No: Disables the override password.
Inherit: If the policy’s Inherit from Policy Hierarchy setting is enabled, inherits this setting value from other Security Setting policies assigned higher in the policy hierarchy. For example, if you assign this policy to a user, the setting value is inherited from any Security Setting policies assigned to the user’s groups, folders, or zone.
