3. If prompted to close a blocked program (e.g. instant messaging), choose Yes. If you do not close the blocked program, Respondus LockDown Browser (LDB) will close. If you are prompted to close another application, but that application is not running, try restarting your computer and then run the LockDown Browser.

5. Login to SacCT.

8. If you receive a pop-up to enter a password, then enter the password you received from your instructor (select Yes and click Continue). If no password was given, selectNo and click Continue.
9. The system knows when you are using LDB and will enter the system password for you on the next screen.
