Passwords in Tests Using LockDown Browser

Blackboard tests can be password protected so that students must type in a password prior to starting the test.  However, if you require Respondus LockDown Browser for your exam, setting a test password follows a slightly different path. 

Normally, you may simply enter a password in the Test Options area of your exam.

But when you require students to use LockDown Browser to take an exam, the password function in the Test Options area is used so that LockDown Browser can verify that students are using LockDown Browser to take the exam.

You may use the Respondus LockDown Browser tool to set a password for students.  Enter the password in the Test password (optional) text box.
