Yes, I did, and my original password is still working. Thanks.

You can just make one up.

Keep it on file as you will need it if you ever have to re-install your software on another pc or if the settings are accidentally lost.

If you forget your password and your settings in RPA become corrupted or lost or some other disaster Tim Ring should be able to reset it. From the RPA manual:

--- Quote ---NOTE: If you receive a “bad password” error message when you exit the setup page, you will need to send an email to info@ringengineering.com to have your password changed. Please include the  password you want to use in the email you send to Ring Engineering.

I'm starting to think I should write an "Illustrated guide to downloading and installing RailPro Assistant" ::), given how unintuitive parts of the setup are it might just save more people from being perplexed. Choosing your own password is not even the the manual!

I think that's a great idea.

I also think simple flow charts of the steps to accomplish various things would be very useful.  Please use the EXACT WORDING as shown on the software screen.  ie, the instruction manual says to go to UPDATE SOFTWARE, but the RP screen says SOFTWARE REV1.0 -->REV2.0 UPDATE.

it is also not clear how to hit SAVE after you have updated a file.  Do you go to Main page and back down or what.  I just had to stumble around and sometimes get it and sometimes not.

All in all the software is wonderful, it just needs some explaining and callout fixes.  Gary III

Gary, if you copy a file from the HC to a LM it is saved automatically. If you change a button setting or any of the options for a LM, you need to save it. After you make the change you will be brought to the Save page automatically.
