You will be prompted for the SmartCore password. This is to prevent unauthorised access.

 

 

 

 

After backing up any existing database, if you selected the backup checkbox, SmartCore will proceed to delete any existing database prior to Creating a New database which will be populated with default configuration values.

 

 

 

 

Before you click Ok to Create the New Database make sure all SmartCenter, SmartMonitor and SmartPrinter programs are shutdown. These programs maintain a connection to the database and SmartCore will not delete a database whilst it is in use.

 

Once you have Created a New database you will need to run the Account Setup Wizard in SmartCenter, SmartMonitor and SmartPrinter programs to create the accounts for these programs.
