# Setting the Default Fabric View File Password

The default file password is required to open the default fabric view file. The default file password applies to the View File Auto Save and Load setting in the Preferences dialog. If enabled and a password is entered in the Save View dialog, the password is encrypted and saved with the default fabric view file when exiting SANbox Manager. When starting your next SANbox Manager session, the saved default fabric view file is automatically opened after entering the same password you entered in the Enter Default File Password for Loading File dialog.

To set or change the password for the default fabric view file, do the following:

1. Open the File menu, and select Change Default File Password to open the Set New Password dialog.

2. In Default File Password field, enter a password.

3. Re-enter the password to confirm the password change.

4. Click the OK button to save the changes and close the Set New Password dialog.
