  The change password function is to change an old password to a new password. The new password is a String type, you must convert it to character array before you can call the password.set function.

  And learn another way to ask old passcode, How can we do this with using an if condition?

  I have an electronic code lock project which is written in Chinese. On the top left of the webpage, there is a combox use to translate the article to other languages.

  Good tutorial, just one doubt that i have,
  How to ask user to enter old password, verify and change password inside changePassword() function.??
• Comment Link Sunday, 06 March 2016 13:14 posted by admin

  1. use your keyboard to change the password and store it in EEPROM
  2. Read the password from EEPROM on startup
  3. Use password.set(EEPROM_password) to initialize your password

  How do you reset pass to another # without scanning? Is there a way to set it by the keyboard ie user defined?
