How to enter a SHARED project as Admin with a password

In REQL, how would an administrator be able to run a make admin function on a project that has a password? If this is not possible, then how can you then remove the password from a project, so the user does not have to recreate the project?

There are a few different ways of doing this:

Assuming you are going into the project from a batch file that is already shareable:

1. From a Command (DOS) Prompt or START/RUN
        [path]\revolve.exe -pc:\tps\projects\abc\abc.prj -a("abc") 
             -p is the path and location of the project
             -a is for ADMIN mode
             ("abc") is the string for the password
2. Using a REQL script - 
        [path]\revolve.exe -pc:\tps\projects\abc\abc.prj -sc:\rv\admin.rqc
        The syntax of admin.rqc would be:
             makeadmin("abc")
3. Using the prjbuild.rqc facility - what would appear in the prjbuild.dat file would be:
        "PROJECTOPEN: c:\tps\projects\abc\abc.prj"
        "PASSWORD:ABC"
        "MAKEADMIN"  

If your project isn't already shared - you need to take care of that first. You can manually do this or do it with REQL:

1. Manually - go into project. Select the Project drop down menu / Make Shareable / and specify a unique location for the SHA.
2. In REQL - makeshareable("c:\tps\projects\abc\sha\abc.sha")
3. In prjbuild.dat file: 
        "PROJECTOPEN:C:\TPS\PROJECTS\ABC\ABC.PRJ"
        "MAKESHAREABLE:"C:\TPS\PROJECTS\ABC\SHA\ABC.SHA""  

To remove the password - this can only be done manually - 

• Go into the project as ADMIN - with the password
• Go to Utilities/Options/Project Tab - click on the password button and leave the password value blank pressing OK twice, then OK on the Options window to complete.
