The site password is only placed in processing tables that you create/edit
that do not already have a processing password.  Changing the site password
has no direct effect on existing passworded tables.  However, it you change
the password such that the processing table's password no longer matches
the site password, then filePro will start asking for the password before
you can see/edit the processing.  (The same is true if you take the file
to a different machine, such as a client's, where the site password is not
the same.)
