Opening files protected with passwords
When you attempt to open a protected file, a dialog box prompts you to specify an account name and password in order to open the file. You may also be able to open the file by using Guest Access if privileges for the file are configured to permit it.

FileMaker Pro may display a Change Password dialog box when you try to open a protected file. You can also change your password whenever you want if your privileges permit it. For more information, see Changing your password for a file.

Mac OS: You can prevent the Open Filename dialog box from appearing each time you open a protected file by adding your account name and password to your keychain. To add your account information to your keychain, open the file, click Add to Keychain in the Open Filename dialog box, enter the account name and password you want to store, and click OK. For more information about the keychain, refer to Mac OS Help.

If an account name and password is entered automatically when you open a file but you want to enter different account information, hold down the Shift key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) when opening the file. The Open Filename dialog box will appear and you can specify another account name and password. (Note: This method does not work on Mac OS with account information stored in your keychain. Instead, use the Keychain Access application to delete the appropriate FileMaker Pro password item from your keychain. Then open the file.)
