NOTE: Neoview Releases 2.2 and later offer 64-bit encryption of passwords. If you upgrade
from Release 2.x to Release 2.2 or later, you do not get this added security unless you alter an
existing password or add a new password. If you recently upgraded to Release 2.2 or later and
want to take advantage of the improved password security, you must either change your current
passwords or create new passwords. These actions are optional, but provide extra security for
your system.
Users can change their own passwords at any time, either by checking the “Change Password”
box on the login screen:
