Potential Symptoms

Getting the username and password prompt when launching Content Studio from the Create Tab in Venus 1500 v4.
Trying to open or edit current or old content from the content tab, may get an error saying unable to access, Please enter credentials, with a username and password prompt (entering default, or other, username & password do not work here).

Environment

Product:
Component: Content Studio
Control System: Venus 1500 V4 (4.15+)

Cause

At one point, User Security was enabled in the software. When this was enabled, the Administrator default password of "password" was changed. After it was changed, the user security was disabled.

Resolution

Update software to latest version. Follow Venus 1500: How do I update or download the Venus 1500 V4 software? DD1993540 on how to update the Venus 1500 v4 software to the latest version.

Note: Make sure you are actually launching the Content Studio through the Content Tab in Venus 1500 v4. Using a shortcut to the .exe will also cause this problem.

For Temporary Operation
