Description

Instead of entering your password every time you open Lotus Notes, compile this script you no longer need to enter your password each time.

  1. Replace MYPASSWORD, with your actual password.
  2. Compile as exe
  3. Place shortcut on desktop
  4. Profit =)

Note: You may need to change the location of “notes.exe” depending upon the directory location of lotus notes.

Source Code

Run ("C:\lotus\Notes\notes.exe" )
If Not WinActive("Lotus Notes","") Then WinActivate("Lotus Notes","")
WinWaitActive("Lotus Notes","")
Send("MYPASSWORD{ENTER}")

Lotus Notes installation package should have a feature called Single sign-in log-on. You can install this, and after you configure your notes client, you go to File-Security-User Security. On Security Basics tab there should be a checkbox called: Log in to Notes using your operating system login. Sometimes it’s prompting for a new password and changes your windows login password as well (not sure yet why this happens), but in most of the cases it works perfect.

For me it is easier to install/run this script instead of reinstalling and/or reconfiguring the client. Thanks for sharing your script!

Thanks for the script, it is very handy for few users who keep forgetting their password (which is password)
