USER’S GUIDE B/3
Changing your password
Depending on how security is configured, you may be able to
change your password voluntarily when you logon. If you can
change your password, you should do so regularly.
To change your password:
1. After typing your user name and password in the User Logon
dialog box, select the Change Password check box before
choosing OK. The Change Password dialog box appears. (If it
doesn’t, you are not allowed to change your password.)
Change Password
OK
Cancel
Enter & confirm new password
New Password
********
Confirm
2. Type a new password in the New Password text box, and
repeat it in the Confirm text box. A password can have up to
eight characters, selected from A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and space. The
security system may enforce a minimum password length.
3. Choose the OK button to make the change, or Cancel to keep
your existing password. Any change you make will come into
effect when you next logon.
If the security configuration includes a minimum password
lifetime, you will not be allowed to change your password again
until this lifetime has expired.
If the Password Expired dialog ever appears, the security system is
forcing you to change your password because the maximum
password lifetime has expired. This is necessary because the
longer a password is in use, the greater the chance of it being
discovered.
