  filePro will not resave the processing tables so that they
remove the password (with a system with many thousands of
prc tables, this could take a long time). The utility just
changes the central "site password". It is up to you to
resave the tables so that they will now contain the new
value.

  If you are running SCO or Linux, I think that Bob Stockler
has a script which will automate this....
