Update password

I'm trying to update the netbook as instructed by the manual, but when I try to open the folder that i downloaded off of the link provided by FIRST, it asks for a password, but in the manual it mentions nothing of a password. What should I do?

Re: Update password

is there another password out there somewhere? i tried opening chapter 3 of the control system manual and it asks for a password, but the Breakaway4FRC doesn't work.

Breakaway4FRC!

Don't forget the Exclamation point at the end.

Basically whenever it asks for a password just use Breakaway4FRC!

I was really thrown at first when the LabVIEW update asked me for a password.

I agree, that was completely random and somewhat frustrating. That should have been well-documented, even without giving us the password. A warning, or something.

Nothing worse than feeling helpless after a file unexpectedly tells you that "YOU SHALL NOT PASS"!!! :mad:

Re: Update password

Tell that to three people who searched every document/site possible. Why isn't it in the manual?

Short answer is that once the template code in the update started to contain game specific code, it became necessary to pwd protect. The decision to put it up before the kickoff but pwd protected came quite late. Sorry for the confusion.
