Unlocking your NFC tag

After launching the TagWriter App.

  1. Tap on "Protect Tags"
  2. Tap on "Password Protection"
  3. Fill in the following:
    1. Check "Current Password"
    2. Select "Remove Password" from the drop-down menu
    3. Type "TEC4" as the current password
    4. Tap "Done"
  4. Now hold your NFC tag near the the NFC antennae on your phone.
  5. Once the tag has been detected, you will need to confirm your intent to remove the password by tapping "Tap to Confirm Password Protect"
  6. If the procedure was successful, you will see a confirmation page stating that "Content has been password protected". (You would think it would say password has been removed, but it doesn't)


That's it! Now you can use the "Write Tag" option to program this tag to do whatever you want.
