Setting Up an Unlock Passcode

How to set, change, or remove the unlock passcode to protect grid settings from accidental changes

1 min read

The unlock passcode stops accidental changes to the AAC grid. When it is on, you must enter the passcode before you can customize tiles or change grid settings.

Overview

  • Require Passcode to Customize asks for a passcode before customize mode.
  • The passcode is saved on the communicator's account and syncs across devices.
  • Unlock still works offline after settings have loaded at least once.

Set a passcode

  1. Open Settings.
  1. Open Display & Navigation under AAC.
  1. Find Edit protection.
  1. Under Edit protection passcode, enter a New passcode and Confirm passcode. Use at least 4 characters.
  1. Tap Save and turn on. Require Passcode to Customize turns on automatically.

Change the passcode

  1. Open Settings and enter the current passcode if asked.
  1. Open Display & Navigation, then Edit protection.
  1. Enter a New passcode and Confirm passcode.
  1. Tap Save passcode.

Turn the passcode off

  1. Open Settings and enter the current passcode if asked.
  1. Turn off Require Passcode to Customize to keep the saved passcode but stop asking for it.
  1. Or tap Remove passcode to delete it. That also turns the requirement off.

Tips

  • Share the passcode with anyone who needs to edit this communicator's grid.
