#Guardian Mode and Setting Mode: Two working modes and parental password
Aishi Zhiwei has only two working modes: guard mode (rules take effect and the screen will be locked) and setting mode (free of control and used for parent configuration). Understanding the differences between the two and the switching methods is the prerequisite for configuring time management rules. - Original link: https://www.aivi.hk/help/work-modes-and-password

| Guardian mode is the state of daily use by children: time period, time limit, application grouping, website interception, vision rest and screen lock are all effective. The setting mode is the parent configuration state: all controls are suspended to facilitate software installation, data import or debugging. Be sure to switch back to guard mode before leaving setup mode. | comparison item | daemon mode | setting mode |

##How to switch
- Enter setting mode: Click "Unlock to enter setting mode" on the client's main interface or lock screen interface and enter the parent password. 2. Return to Guardian Mode: "Apply Now" at the center of the settings, or close the client window. 3. Remote switching: The web-side console can switch working modes remotely (the rights required for remote management have not expired).## Parent password considerations
- The parent password is used to: enter the setting mode, modify any rules, temporarily unlock, and uninstall the client. - Input 110 on the lock screen interface is the emergency channel for children, not the parent password-for details, see "Emergency Response and Frequently Asked Questions". - The temporary lock screen sent remotely does not take effect in setting mode, and the client will force it to switch back to guard mode before locking it.> Note : Once the parent password is forgotten, it cannot be retrieved online. Please do not use simple combinations of numbers known to your child.
