Parameters
- dwStatus
Specifies the state of the password. The system password can be active for the logon process and the password can be active for a screen saver. The following table shows the possible values.Value Description PASSWORD_STATUS_ACTIVE Makes the system password active. If this bit is not set, the password is disabled. PASSWORD_STATUS_SCREENSAVERPROTECT Makes the password active for a screen saver. When this is set it causes the startup screen to be displayed when a screen saver is deactivated by the user. If this bit is not set, no startup screen is displayed when the screen saver is deactivated by a user. The PASSWORD_STATUS_ACTIVE flag must also be set to set this flag. - lpszPassword
Pointer to a null-terminated string containing the password.
Return Values

Remarks
This function can activate or deactivate the password without requiring the password to be stored each time, thereby allowing the device to remember the password unless a cold-boot occurs. To activate or deactivate the password, lpszPassword must match the current password.
To use this function, you must include the Password component, Fspass, in your Cesysgen.bat file.
