# Password Tab

Deep Freeze allows the administrator to choose up to 15 passwords.

To create a password, complete the following steps and click _Add_:

1. From the _Type_ drop-down list, choose the preferred kind of password. The following options are available:
   * Workstation: designated for use at the computer when the _Login Screen_ is launched.
   * Command Line: for use with Command Line Controls. The Command Line Control tool (DFC.exe) does not function unless at least one Command Line password is defined.
2. Optional: For passwords, select the _Allow Change_ checkbox to allow a user to change the password at the computer.
3.  Enter the password.\


    {% hint style="info" %}
    The password entered in the _Password_ field is not hidden.

    Do not use the same password for Command Line and the GUI.
    {% endhint %}
4. To set a password to become active and expire on specified dates, select the _Timeout_ checkbox and use the drop-down calendars to specify an _Activation date_ and _Expiration date_.
