SUMMARY
=======

If the Post Office Administrator account is deleted, or the password has been
lost, changed, or forgotten, the ADMINSCH account can be used to log on to the
Admin program to recover or re-create the ADMIN account.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The ADMINSCH account is created whenever Schedule+ is installed, and may have
administrator rights on the postoffice. The ADMINSCH account is created with the
default password, usually PASSWORD. The password is quite often never changed.

A customer can try to log on to the Admin program with the ADMINSCH account and
recover the password for the ADMIN account, or re-create a missing ADMIN
account.
