Password Security Policy

[neill154]

I have Acrobat Pro DC installed and I accidentally changed the setting of the password security policy to require a specific password.  I can see how to create a new policy but I cannot seem to create one that doesn't require a specific password.  I would like to have a policy like came with the original installation that would prompt me for clicking on requiring password to open then add the password.

I would appreciate your help.

This does not fix the original tool which prompted for adding a password (your suggestion is a work around)

What is the original tool?

[neill154]

In the original tool there was no password in the tool.  I added a password in the "manage security policy" and now it keeps using the password when I click on the policy.  I would like it to have no password and that way it prompts me for the password.  When I try to erase the password I get error massage that need a password.

I finally figured it out, I had to uncheck the box "save with password:"
