Using RGS 90
5-4 Changing your password
In RGS 5.0 and earlier, attempting to make a connection with an expired password would generate an
Authentication failed! error message. In this situation, the user would either need direct access to the Remote
Computer to change the password, or would need to call IT to have the password changed.
Starting at RGS 5.1, you can change an expired password from the RGS Receiver. If you enter an expired
password, you will see a dialog stating that the password must be changed (see Figure 5-13).
Figure 5-13 Dialog indicating that the password must be changed
After clicking OK, you’ll see the Change Password dialog (see Figure 5-14).

Enter the requested information to change your password.
5-5 Receiver command line options
Starting the Receiver in Normal Mode in Section 5-1, “Using RGS in Normal Mode,” was straightforward. On the
Windows command line, the command rgreceiver.exe was executed. However, like the Sender, the Receiver
supports a number of command line options:
[-directory [file]]
[-nosplash]
-directory [file] starts the Receiver in Directory Mode. If the optional file path is specified, the file is
opened and used to look up the Remote Computers assigned to the user. If file is not specified, the user is
prompted to enter a path to the directory file. For information on Directory Mode, see Chapter 7, “Using Directory
Mode.”
-nosplash disables display of the splash screen when the Receiver starts.
