Understanding the Logon Sequence
3/4 MASTER USER’S GUIDE
If the user presses ALT+L when this final message appears, the logon
sequence is started as described earlier. Otherwise, he is
automatically logged-on using the Quick Logon account.
Changing a password at logon
A user is usually permitted to change his password when he logs on,
by selecting the Change Password check box in the User Logon
dialog before choosing OK. The Change Password dialog appears.
Change Password

Enter & confirm new password
New Password

If the security configuration includes a minimum password lifetime,
the user will not be allowed to change his password until this period
has expired. A user is also not permitted to change his password
voluntarily if his user account includes the Lock Password attribute.
In these cases, the Change Password check box in the User Logon
dialog is inactive.
On the other hand, a user can be forced to change his password if
the security configuration specifies a maximum password lifetime. In
this case, the Change Password dialog – retitled as the Password
Expired dialog – appears once the user’s password has expired,
whether or not the user requests it.
