# Lock a workspace

To protect sensitive data in your workspace configuration (e.g., server URL or credentials), you may wish to lock the workspace configuration before you deploy it to your users. You can do it by using the ***Lock/Unlock*** button from the toolbar.

The locked workspace will require a password. The password must be specify when the lock is applied. Use the same password to unlock it or to modify the workspace configuration.

{% hint style="danger" %}
There is no way of unlocking the workspace if the password is lost or forgotten. In such an event, you will need to configure a new workspace. However the content of the database will not be lost.
{% endhint %}
