Can't remove password once set easily in the designer.

We use the password support for FR3 reports. Started with 2024.x.x and now on 2025.2.5

Which is great. People can't edit them and poke around.

Due to another issue I have ( FieldDefs saved in FR3 when it didn't use to? — FastReport Forum )

I have to remove the password, save it as plain XML text, edit the file manually in notepad and leave it not encrypted do to the bug above.... ugh.

I have a modified version of the report editor program for my own use.

I don't have to input the password because I have this code, to set it.

frxReport1.ReportOptions.HiddenPassword  := 'bleh';

Which is great, don't have to hammer it in every time i edit a report.

The issue is, in the designer, you can't remove the password, IF, I have the above code to set the password.

If I remove that line of code, then I can remove the password.

So can see here, password is grayed out. I can't do anything.

Remove the 1 line of code, and rerun, now i can remove it!

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
