Delete the Password

Please Note:  In version 3 and earlier of Dolphin Don's Music School, the program asks for your password even if you have not created one.  When this happens, leave the password box blank and click OK.  If this doesn't work then someone created a password at some time. This is not a problem, however, as you can delete it if necessary.

To delete the password, you need to find the dolphin.ini file and edit it in NotePad.

If you have version 3 of Dolphin Don’s Music School, the file should be here:

C:\Program Files\Dolphin\dolphin.ini

If you have version 4, the location varies, depending on which version of Windows you have. In version 4 of Dolphin Don’s Music School with Windows Vista, the file is here:

C:\ProgramData\Dolphin\dolphin.ini

In version 4 with Windows XP or Windows 2000, the file should be here:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data

By default, Windows hides most file extensions, so you won’t see the file extension (.ini) unless you have told Windows not to “hide extensions for known file types.” To do this:

  1. On the Tools menu in Windows Explorer (or My Computer), select Folder Options.

  2. Click on the View tab.

  3. Make sure that “Hide extensions for unknown file types” is not checked.

By default, Windows also hides certain folders, including the folder where version 4 puts the file. To show this folder:

  1. On the Tools menu in Windows Explorer (or My Computer), select Folder Options.

  2. Click on the View tab.

  3. Under “Hidden files and folders,” click “Show hidden files and folders.”

Open the file with Notepad by right-clicking on it and choosing “Open With.” Once the file is open in Notepad, look for this line:

[Password]

Delete the line immediately under this (it should begin with "Encrypted=")

Close and save the dolphin.ini file and you won’t have a password in Dolphin Don’s Music School unless and until you create a new one.  Remember, in version 3 and earlier of Dolphin Don's Music School, the program asks for your password even if you have not created one.  When this happens, leave the password box blank and click OK.
