Eagle provides an application lock feature to ensure the security of user data. You can learn more about this feature at: /support/article/use-application-password-to-protect-your-file.

When your application is locked, it typically means someone has set password protection while using this device and didn't disable the feature before leaving.

How to Unlock Your Application

If you've forgotten your password or suspect someone else set it, you can unlock the application using your license key:

At the password prompt screen, enter your license key and press Enter to unlock
When entering or pasting your license key, make sure it's complete, including all "-" characters
After unlocking, go to "Preferences" > "Password Protection" to reset your password
In the old password field, enter your license key, then set a new password
If you forget your new password in the future, you can repeat these steps to unlock and reset

Disabling the Lock Feature

To turn off the application lock feature:

Go to "Preferences" > "Password Protection"
Uncheck the "Enable password lock" option
Click "Save Settings"

Important Notes

Eagle does not store your actual password information. Only the person who set the password knows it. Therefore, please keep your password in a safe place.
