hi,

in one vi named as login, i have 3 controls. username, pwd and one button password recovery. whenever the user forgets his password, he can click the password recovery button to retrieve the password. in the password recovery vi, i have given the required username and a submit button. whenever the user clicks submit button, the password has to get retrieved from the database and  should go into the login vi where the password control is there?

how can i do this in labview?

InAdvance Thanks

Regards

Okay Soundarya, here is some help...

Pass a Ref to the Password control of the Login VI into the Password Recovery VI & use the Value property tp update it with the value that you got retrieved from the so-called Database.

Actually, what is your DB? Just curious...

You could always use the way I use for this which is to attach the value to a global variable.  May not be the best way but it works and it can also be accessed by anyother VI you want as well.

Hi Soundarya,

i don't like this way of storing passwords and i think your users also don't like it. You should store the password as a hash string. If the user forget the password, then you should provide a function to select a new one.

A funny thread indeed...

Hi Soundarya,

can you please explain what you need? You can create a reference with a right click on your control. You can then use a property node to write the new value to it or to change other settings.

Maybe you should think about a LabVIEW course.
