You can use Password Assistant to help you choose a new password. Click the Key
button to the right of the New Password field to see how secure the new password is.
Users with Leopard can change their name and password using the Directory
application. Users can change their passwords when authenticating for file sharing.
If your server has imported user accounts, or user accounts imported automatically
from groups, their names or passwords can be changed by an administrator of the
directory server where the accounts are stored. If that directory server is a standard
configuration of Mac OS X Server and you are an administrator of it, you can connect
Server Preferences to it remotely and then make the changes. For information about
how to connect remotely, see “Connecting Server Preferences to a Remote Server” on
page 51.
If your server’s imported user accounts are stored on an advanced configuration of
Mac OS X Server, the directory administrator can use Workgroup Manager to change
the account name and password. For information about using Workgroup Manager,
open it and then use the Help menu.
To change the password or other attributes of the Local Administrator account, use the
Accounts pane of System Preferences after setting up the server. For information about
changing local accounts, open System Preferences and then use the Help menu.
To change the password of the System Administrator (root) account, use the Directory
Utility application after setting up the server. For information about using Directory
Utility, open it and then use the Help menu.
